Abstract

A polder-boezem system consists of a (large) number of polders that pump their drainage water into a network of watercourses and lakes. A few large pump stations then pump the drainage water into rivers or the sea. In some cases a sluice gate is used when water levels allow it. A receding horizon control algorithm for a polder-boezem system is presented where the selection of the control action is based on a prescribed order of use for the different states of available pumps and sluices. It is an extension of an earlier algorithm that operated boezem pump stations only. A further extension is proposed that will allow inclusion of the control of polder pumps. Arguments are presented to support the claim that, from the point of view of transparency, this algorithm is better suited to the control of polder-boezem systems than receding horizon control with a traditional objective function.
