Optimization of Water Distribution Networks
The paper approaches the optimization of water distribution networks supplied from one or more node sources, according to demand variation. Traditionally, in pipe optimization, the objective function is always focused on the cost criteria of network components. In this study an improved linear model is developed, which has the advantage of using not only cost criteria, but also energy consumpti...
متن کاملA HYBRID CHARGED SYSTEM SEARCH - FIREFLY ALGORITHM FOR OPTIMIZATION OF WATER DISTRIBUTION NETWORKS
Water distribution networks are one of the important and costly infrastructures of cities and many meta-heuristic algorithms in standard or hybrid forms were used for optimizing water distribution networks. These algorithms require a large amount of computational cost. Therefore, the converging speed of algorithms toward the optimization goal is as important as the goal itself. In this paper, a...
متن کاملPrediction of Blasting Cost in Limestone Mines Using Gene Expression Programming Model and Artificial Neural Networks
The use of blasting cost (BC) prediction to achieve optimal fragmentation is necessary in order to control the adverse consequences of blasting such as fly rock, ground vibration, and air blast in open-pit mines. In this research work, BC is predicted through collecting 146 blasting data from six limestone mines in Iran using the artificial neural networks (ANNs), gene expression programming (G...
متن کاملMultiobjective Robust Optimization of Water Distribution Networks
Due to its practical importance and inherent complexity, the optimization of distribution networks for supplying drinking water has been the subject of extensive study for the past 30 years. The optimization is governed by sizing the pipes in the water distribution network (WDN). The pipe diameters are to be selected from a list of available commercial diameters, making WDN optimization a pure ...
متن کاملEvaluation of Selection Algorithms for Simultaneous Layout and Pipe Size Optimization of Water Distribution Networks
In this paper, a genetic algorithm is presented for the simultaneous layout and pipe size optimization of water distribution networks and its e ciency is evaluated and compared using di erent selection mechanisms. An engineering concept of reliability is used, in which the number of independent paths from source nodes to each of the demand nodes is considered as a measure of reliability. The me...
