Abstract

The ORCHESTRA project focus on the research and development of new distributed fault tolerant coordinated optimal MPC controllers based on distributed optimization algorithms, aiming at contributing to the improvement of the water delivery hydro agricultural infrastructure located in the extreme southeast of Alentejo, a region in Portugal where the problem of water scarcity is known to be more severe.
