Level management in connected water reservoirs employing curve fitting based PID control scheme

摘要

Climate change affects us in almost all daily aspects of life. Specially, disasters like floods. The dam level management system to counter these unpredictable floods has become obsolete. This can been seen in the recent destruction brought upon by floods in the state of Kerala (India). The major reason for the deluge has been reservoir mismanagement. Due to absence of a scientific method to control the outflow from several local dams. Consequently, a first step towards encountering this conundrum in form of a PID controller augmented by a FOPDT (first order plus dead time reinforcement) to manage water levels in a two connected reservoir system is proposed.
