Optimizing Operations of Large Water Supply Networks - A Case Study
In this paper we propose a mathematical programming model for a large drinking water supply network and discuss some possible extensions. The proposed optimization model is of a real water distribution network, the largest water supply network in Flanders. The problem is nonlinear, nonconvex and involves some binary variables, making it belong to the class of NP-hard problems. We discuss a way ...
متن کاملMultiobjective Genetic Algorithms for Pump Scheduling in Water Supply
Seeking cost reduction and energy savings in water supply by improving the operation of pumps is both an obvious as well as a very efficient possibility to consider. Without making changes to the basic elements of a water supply system, remarkable reductions in operation costs can be achieved by optimising the pump scheduling (PS) problem. The UK Water Research Centre (WRC) [1985] estimates the...
متن کاملOptimization of Pump Operations in a Complex Water Supply Network: New Genetic Algorithm Frameworks
In previous papers, a simple genetic algorithm (GA) was developed for the optimization of pump operations in water-distribution networks. Its application at the water supply network of Milano showed the possibility of a great improvement of its performance in terms of both energy and economic savings. In the present paper is now investigated the possibility of using different and improved GAs t...
متن کاملOptimizing Intermittent Water Supply in Urban Pipe Distribution Networks
In many urban areas of the developing world, piped water is supplied only intermittently, as valves direct water to different parts of the water distribution system at different times. The flow is transient, and may transition between free-surface and pressurized, resulting in complex dynamical features with important consequences for water suppliers and users. Here, we develop a computational ...
متن کاملHead-Driven Simulation of Water Supply Networks
Up to now most of the existing water supply network analyses have been based on demand-driven simulation models. These models assume that nodal outflows are fixed and are always available. However, this method of simulation neglects the pressure-dependent nature of demand that is characterized by changes in actual nodal outflows particularly during critical events like major mechanical or hydra...
