      This paper describes a new simplified model for controller design of open water channels that are relatively short, flat and deep: the integrator resonance model (IR model). The model contains an integrator and the first ...
    • Model-based sensor supervision in inland navigation networks: Cuinchy-Fontinettes case study 

      Blesa Izquierdo, Joaquim; Horvath, Klaudia; Duviella, Eric; Puig Cayuela, Vicenç; Bolea Monte, Yolanda; Rajaoarisoa, Lala H.; Chuquet, Karine (Iniciativa Digital Politècnica, 2014)
      Conference report
      Open Access
      In recent years, inland navigation networks benefit from the innovation of the instrumentation and SCADA systems. These data acquisition and control systems lead to the improvement of the management of these networks. ...
    • Multivariable model predictive control of water levels on a laboratory canal 

      Horvath, Klaudia; Van Overloop, P.J.; Galvis Restrepo, Eduard; Gómez Valentín, Manuel; Rodellar Benedé, José (2012)
