| Session Description |
The aim of this session is to provide an active forum in which to discuss the integration and appropriate application of novel methods, algorithms and methodologies for efficient optimisation and control of large-scale water resources systems. The main topics will focus on the following areas: Methods for the analysis of large data sets, Data-driven modelling, Surrogate optimisation and bio-inspired optimisation techniques, Data-assimilation, Model predictive control, and Distributed (real-time) control. Applications can belong to any area of large-scale water resources systems: water quality modelling and control, rainfall-runoff modelling, reservoir operation, optimal planning of water resources, design and operation of water distribution networks, analysis of hydro-meteorological data sets, etc. |
