Department Water and Energy Sewer systems
Objectives of sewer systems
Fast discharge of wastewater from residential areas (health
protection)
Avoiding of flooding (infrastructure protection)
Minimisation of avoidable wastewater and pollution discharges
(environment protection)
11
Systematic setup of real time control
Real time control of sewer systems beneficial for many
systems:
Reducdtion of discharges whilst using existing infrastructure
Cost reduction: Avoiding construction of expensive storage tanks
Flexibility: control allows better utilisation of existing infrastructure
Better utilisation of WWTP by dynamical influent variation

RTC strategy
RTC objectives
RTC procedures
e.g. gates,
pumps
e.g.
Water levels, flows, rain,
(water quality)
e.g. reduction of
discharges of
(untreated)
wastewater
13
Challenges of RTC
Challenges
Highly stochastic input (rainfall), short control time step
Measurements difficult (raw wastewater!)
Each case study different
non-linear system, backwater effects
Concrete (infrastructure and thinking)
Impediments
Hard to illustrate economic benefit for existing systems
Planning and design of RTC is a complex task when using
traditional appraoches
Safe operation of system needs to be ensured
A modular approach to RTC
14
(1) uniform utilisation of storage volume virtual central tank
15
A modular approach to RTC
(2) Uniform utilisation of parallel branches
Coordinating controller manages all available capacites (upstream
and locally available)
Distribution of free capacites according to „demands“
Result: Optimum operation of drainage system w.r.t. minimsation of
overflow volume

A city with water challenges: Lima/Peru
Some characteristics of Lima
Second-driest city of the world (Rainfall: 9 mm p.a.)
Rivers with trans-Andean tunnels, groundwater
Some wastewater reuse (parks, agriculture) – untreated wastewaters
Water production: approx. 20 m3/s
Main worry of population: Access to water
Challenges in administrative framework
