An LPV Fractional Model for Canal Control

الملخص EN

An LPV rational order control model of an irrigation canal is derived from system identification experiments.

This model is experimentally obtained by using the described LPV fractional identification procedure.

This procedure consists of the identification of a rational order model in each operation point in an experimental test canal.

Global LPV model is obtained from polynomial interpolation of local model parameters.

Validation results demonstrate that rational order models are more accurate than integer order models.

Therefore rational order control models have an important role to play in management and efficient use of water resources.
