چکیده

In spite of the growing computational power offered by the commodity hardware, fast pump scheduling of complex water distribution systems is still a challenge. In this paper, the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) meta-modeling technique has been employed with a Genetic Algorithm (GA) for simultaneously optimizing the pump operation and the tank levels at the ends of the cycle. The generalized GA+ANN algorithm has been tested on a real system in the UK. Comparing to the existing operation, the daily cost is reduced by about 10−15%, while the number of pump switches are kept below 4 switches-per-day. In addition, tank levels are optimized ensure a periodic behavior, which results in a predictable and stable performance over repeated cycles.

Designing a Meta-Heuristic Algorithm Based on a Simple Seeking Logic

Nowadays, in majority of academic contexts, it has been tried to consider the highest possible level of similarities to the real world. Hence, most of the problems have complicated structures. Traditional methods for solving almost all of the mathematical and optimization problems are inefficient. As a result, meta-heuristic algorithms have been employed increasingly during recent years. In thi...
