  • Patent number: 8660703
    Abstract: A control method for controlling a wastewater network, said network including actuators suitable for influencing the flow rates of water in the network, with the behavior of the actuator depending on setpoints, the method comprising: a step of selecting a rain type from a list of predetermined rain types, as a function of forecast or measured rain; a step of selecting a set of setpoints from a list of predetermined setpoints, as a function of the selected rain type; and a step of sending the setpoints of the selected set of setpoints to said actuators. The method further comprises a step of obtaining first state information representative of the current state of the network, said set of setpoints being selected from the list of predetermined sets of setpoints as a function of the selected rain type and as a function of the first state information.
