Green Water is Good: Control and Design of Low-Carbon Water Pumping Systems

该项目旨在开发新的理论工具，用于控制和设计由可再生能源驱动的低碳抽水系统。一个预期的结果是建立先进的控制框架，显著降低水泵系统的运行成本，同时产生最少的碳排放。控制框架将集成太阳能云量、电价和水需求的随机不确定性。控制框架将被纳入一个两阶段的约束优化，作为未来低碳抽水系统的共同设计策略。该项目将为澳大利亚社会带来显著的经济、商业和环境效益。

This project aims to develop new theoretical tools for the control and design of low-carbon water pumping systems powered by renewable energy. One expected outcome is to establish advanced control frameworks that significantly reduce operational cost for water pumping systems and meanwhile produce the least carbon emissions. The control frameworks will integrate stochastic uncertainties of solar cloud cover, electricity price and water demand. The control frameworks will be incorporated into a two-stage constrained optimisation as a codesign strategy for future low-carbon water pumping systems. This project will gain significant economic, commercial and environmental benefits to the Australian community.
