POUL DUE JENSEN FOUNDATION RESEARCH The modules. The lab will be a flexible testing ground with 14 building blocks which can be used to model different water networks.

The group collaborates with Singapore University of Technology and Design which has a similar interest in studying interconnections between water networks: ”They focus more on cyber security, and less on hydraulics and control, so we complement each other well,” Jorge explains. Part of Jorge’s research will look into reinforcement learning techniques applied within water networks. The aim is for the developed theory to be closer to reality, and the laboratory will provide a realistic environment to test the ideas and theorems: “In a computer simulation, we use a mathematical model. But we cannot reproduce everything in our mathematical models. They are often too ideal, and the physical impacts of the real world do not all show up. The new lab will hopefully also be able to help us detect the flaws in our mathematical models.” AAU Smart Water Lab Research group: - Rafal Wisniewski, Professor - Carsten Skovmose Kallesøe, Professor - Jorge Val Ledesma, PhD associate 33
