Synchronization Optimization of Pipe Diameter and Operation Frequency in a Pressurized Irrigation Network Based on the Genetic Algorithm

The pressurized irrigation network aims to deliver water consumption nodes at an appropriate pressure and discharge. traditional pipe optimization minimizes the annual operating cost or investment per unit area. present work establishes diameter frequency models based on flattish terrain. It proposes a new synchronization method of operation find best match point for in branched system. costs above three models, including energy costs, are compared with original Based results optimizing typical experimental field, model can save about 1.4% 10.6% cost, respectively. Furthermore, synchronous significantly reduce 19.3%, 26.6% reduction 21.9% increase cost. Compared optimization, further while generating lower costs. this research be used design system terrain
