Remote experimentation on a three coupled water reservoirs

Abstract

A remote laboratory for long-distance education is presented: the level control of three coupled water reservoirs. This process is non-linear and multivariable so that different control problems and strategies can be shown. The user can control and visualize the experiment in real-time using a standard Web browser; no additional software is required. PID, state-space, fuzzy and exact linearization have been implemented on this process. Multivariable PID with the most common references are already available for remote experimentation.
