Resumo:In this work, we study a mathematical model for a smart irrigation system, formulated as an optimal control problem and discretized and transcribed into a nonlinear programming problem using a fine mesh. In order to solve the resulting optimization problem, one needs to use Optimization solvers. Hence we implemented the proposed mathematical model in AMPL and solved it using the IPOPT solver on the NEOS server (https://neos-server.org/neos/index.html). We also tested the model with several scenarios. The numerical results shows that the mathematical model produces qualitatively good responses. Moreover the execution times are made in few seconds.
