This paper presents a control scheme which uses a combination of linear Model Predictive Control (MPC) and a Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP) to solve the non-linear operational optimal control of Drinking Water Networks (DWNs). The methodology has been divided into two functional layers: First, a CSP algorithm is used to transfer non-linear DWNs pressure equations into linear constraints ...

In this research, the system of leakage of pipelines detection will be done by a computerized technique by using analysis of pressure monitoring as a determinant of presence of pipeline leaks in the water distribution network. The pressure data obtained from EPANET software, namely a modeling in a hydraulic system. This study uses two methods, artificial intelligence, namely Support Vector Mach...

In this paper, a leak detection, isolation and estimation methodology in pressurized water pipe networks is proposed. The methodology is based on computing residuals which are obtained comparing measured pressures (heads) in selected points of the network with their estimated values by means of a Linear Parameter Varying (LPV) model and zonotopes. The structure of the LPV model is obtained from...
