Subject: New book: "Modelling, Simulation and Control of Urban
Wastewater Systems"
Dear list members,
Even though I feel a bit embarrassed about advertising my own book, I
would like to bring to your attention the fact that the book
"Modelling, Simulation and Control of Urban Wastewater Systems"
by Manfred Schuetze, David Butler and M.Bruce Beck
(362+XVIII pp., 81 figs. Hardcover, ISBN 1-85233-553-X)
has just been published by Springer Verlag.
The work is based on my PhD thesis; however, recent additions make this
book to an up-to-date reference source for the field of simulation and
control of urban wastewater systems (i.e. sewer systems, treatment
plants
and receiving rivers).
Further details on the book and ordering information can be found on:
http://www.springer.de/cgi-bin/search_book.pl?isbn=1-85233-553-X
Any comments and feedback on the book would be gratefully appreciated.
Best regards
Manfred

====================
More information on the book:
This book encourages and demonstrates an innovative approach to the
design and operation of urban wastewater systems: integrated modelling
and control. Consideration of sewer system, wastewater treatment
plant and receiving water body as a single system (rather than as three
moderately independent units as before) opens up new types of analyses
and new control algorithms for urban wastewater systems.
After a comprehensive review of the literature of various fields
including processes affecting water flow and quality in urban wastewater
systems and their description by different types of models, this book
also introduces some of the fundamental concepts of the operation of
such systems. It discusses conventional as well as innovative control
approaches - ranging from control by simple set-points to elaborate
hierarchical control concepts taking into account the water flow and the
quality of sewer systems, treatment plants and receiving water body.
Thus it will enable the researcher as well as the practising engineer to
analyse and to implement various types of control for a particular case
study site. In order to illustrate the concepts developed, a detailed
simulation study, covering the complete urban wastewater system, is
presented. The conclusions drawn demonstrate that the application of
innovative control concepts can lead to improved performance of
wastewater systems. In addition, a comprehensive survey of mathematical
optimisation methods is presented.
This book can assist the practising engineer and the student to gain
knowledge of all aspects of wastewater systems. To the researcher, this
book provides a thorough survey of existing simulation and control
concepts and inspiration for further work.
