This work develops a toolbox called WDSchain on MATLAB that can simulate blockchain water distribution systems (WDS). import data from Excel and EPANET modelling software. It extends the to enable simulation of hydraulic at any intended nodes. Using will strengthen network automation security in WDS. process time-series with two modes: (1) static blockchain, which takes snapshot one-time interv...

Abstract The excess pressure in water distribution networks (WDNs) can be utilized to reduce leakage and produce energy by installing recovery devices (ERDs) like microturbines or pumps-as-turbines. major challenge adopting ERDs pipe is locate the optimum location for their placement. An optimization procedure proposed this work find locations of (ER) reduction (LR). method based on Rao algorit...

Abstract The forecast analysis of the exposure to contamination risk in a water distribution network requires increasing quality applied input/outputs modeling. This need involves using non-traditional models responding increasingly high computation requirements. In this scenario, Cellular Automata paradigm represents new frontier with considerable potential. Specifically, paper describes Euler...

Abstract Multi-objective meta-heuristics are used to optimize water distribution networks (WDNs) as they can achieve a near-optimal balance between cost and resilience in unified platform. Most of these algorithms include tuning algorithm-specific control parameters for higher optimization efficiency, leading an increased computational effort. The current study is inspired by the desire address...

The main function of a water supply and storm sewer pipe network is to properly maintain planned flow rates, pressure, depth within pipes. This can be simulated with numerical analysis model. In general, model experiments are required verify correct the accuracy models, but due nature complex facilities, scale related studies very limited. Therefore, this study aimed develop kit capable general...

Minimizing water supply costs has always been the goal of companies. However, it is not an easy task to minimize and meet customers’ pressure needs in a system with multiple sources different unit discharge. In this paper, we develop search method that incorporates concepts local steepest descent. First, establish discharge each source as variable start searching neighborhood for feasible initi...
