Abstract
This chapter gives an overview of optimal control of sewer networks with dynamic process models. After introducing the method of model predictive control (MPC) and its requirements for optimization and process modeling a focus is set on practical applications and the industrial viewpoint. An up-to-date sewer management system is introduced and used to illustrate industrial requirements and the mathematical challenges involved in it.
