This paper studies the performance of model predictive control in improving the management of reservoirs in water transfer line. Model Predictive Control is an optimal modern control which due to its proper function against sudden disturbances has been developed for engineering control problems. One of the main capabilities of the predictive control algorithm is the prediction modeling of the system in optimization function. In this research with using a predictive control algorithm while applying the constraints regarding reservoir and pump stations capacity, an optimal controller is designed for the Zarinehrood transfer line to Tabriz. This network contains a total pipe length of 180 kms with 24 branches which is known as the largest transfer line in the Middle East. In this research the designed controller have been solved for the two objective functions, maintaining the safety water in the reservoirs and reducing the fluctuations in the pump stations. To evaluate the predictive control algorithm performance, the results of the MPC were compared with operator data and another control method called linear quadratic integral control . The obtained results show that the predictive control has been able to perform better than operator data and linear quadratic integral control. While yields high capability to satisfy all constraints while fluctuations in pumping stations have been decreased about 22% and the water in the reservoir tanks maintain the lowest error in the vicinity of the desired volume.The total amount of pumped water over the length of the transmission line has been decreased by 8%.
