Science in pictures To the point: Efficient multi-scenario model predictive control for water resources management with ensemble streamflow forecasts "Model Predictive Control (MPC) is one of the most advanced real-time control techniques that has been widely applied to water resources management (WRM). MPC can manage the water system in a holistic manner and has a flexible structure to incorporate specific elements, such as setpoints and constraints. Therefore, MPC has shown its versatile performance in many branches of WRM. Nonetheless, with t..." [More...] X. Tian, R.R. Negenborn, P.J. van Overloop, J.M. Maestre, A. Sadowska, N. van de Giesen.

Currently, these structures are often operated purely locally, without coordination on actions between different structures. Auto..." [More...] H. van Ekeren, R.R. Negenborn, P.J. van Overloop, B.

A novel coordination model is proposed and tackled using logic-based Benders decomposition and Large Neighborhood Search. In addition, a closed-loop perspective is ..." [More...] S. Li, R.R.

We present results from a recent survey of 35 distributed MPC approaches. For this, we propose a way in which distributed MPC approaches can be categorized for comparison. We also link the potential that these approaches have to the domain of other fields s..." [More...] R.R. Negenborn, J.M. Maestre.

Developing a fully autonomous vessel is challenging. Existing research provides a track from existing vessels to a remotecontrolled vessel with reduced crews, an unmanned remote-controlled vessel, and at the end, a fully autonomous vessel. The first step is to equip existing vessels to realize autonomous sailing. In thi..." [More...] L.E. van Cappelle, L. Chen, R.R. Negenborn.
