Abstract: A control strategy based on adaptive prediction and a receding horizon controller is used to regulate the river flow-rate in Suldalslågen in the Ulla-Førre production system on the south-west coast of Norway. The adaptive prediction of the unregulated inflow used precipitation data and flow-rate data from a stream in the catchment area. In addition, a recursive estimation algorithm is used to estimate the stationary gains of the parallel transfer function models which have the catchment area data as input and the unregulated inflow as output.
