Internet-Enabled Remotely Controlled Architecture to Release Water from Storage Units
Publication: World Environmental and Water Resources Congress 2021
ABSTRACT
Recent developments have witnessed that remote operations attract considerable widespread interest due to their ability to work remotely, ease of access, and faster troubleshooting. This paper presents an architecture for the remote operation of global and local connections to release water from storage units. This approach could be adapted for a wide array of applications to control flooding, perform maintenance operations, and release water for ecological purposes. An inverted u-tube structure known as a siphon and the widely used conventional drainage pipe, both provided with actuated gates, facilitate water release from storage units. They are operated remotely using the 4G/5G cellular network. A graphical user interface (GUI) has been developed to monitor and control hardware and software components. Sensors were deployed in the field to collect information about the water depth of the storage units. All the components are powered using solar energy. Several experiments have been performed and tested in our laboratory to verify system reliability to get a stable and consistent connection. This methodology may open new avenues for the application of remote operations, particularly in civil and environmental engineering.
