Sensor Placement for Leak Location in Water Distribution Networks Using the Leak Signature Space
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, a sensor placement approach to improve the leak location in water distribution networks is proposed. The sensor placement problem is formulated as an integer optimization problem where the criterion to minimize is the number of overlapping signature domains computed from the leak signature space (LSS) representation. A stochastic optimization process is proposed to solve this problem, based on either a Genetic Algorithms (GA) or a Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) approach. Experiments on two different DMAs are used to evaluate the performance of the resolution methods as well as the efficiency achieved in the leak location when using the sensor placement results.

In this paper, a sensor placement approach to improve the leak location in water distribution networks is proposed when the leak signature space (LSS) method is used. The sensor placement problem is formulated as an integer optimization problem where the criterion to be minimized is the number of overlapping signature domains computed from the original LSS representation. First, a semi-exhausti...
متن کاملLeak Signature Space: An Original Representation for Robust Leak Location in Water Distribution Networks
In this paper, an original model-based scheme for leak location using pressure sensors in water distribution networks is introduced. The proposed approach is based on a new representation called the Leak Signature Space (LSS) that associates a specific signature to each leak location being minimally affected by leak magnitude. The LSS considers a linear model approximation of the relation betwe...
