Abstract: This paper presents an economic analysis of pressure control solutions for leakage and pipe burst reduction. In detail, it explores the operating conditions under which the installation of conventional mechanical pressure ...

Abstract: This paper presents the comparison of two algorithms for water distribution network resolution in terms of computational efficiency: the Newton-Raphson Global (NR-GA) and the Newton-Raphson Loop Flows (NR-LF). Both algorithms ...

Abstract: This paper provides an insight into the selection of the most suitable configuration for closed distribution systems (i.e., systems with no storage capacity). The analysis is developed considering a wide ranges of ...

Abstract: This paper provides an insight into the selection of the most suitable configuration for closed distribution systems (i.e., systems with no storage capacity). The analysis is developed considering a wide ranges of operational ...

Abstract: This paper presents a multistep approach for the rehabilitation of the deteriorated and intermittently operated water distribution network (WDN) proposed by the organizers of the joint WDSA CCWI 2022 Conference as the case ...

Abstract: In 2000, the resilience and failure indices were introduced as a convenient and compact tool to express respectively water-distribution network (WDN) surplus and deficit in satisfying users’ demand, in terms of delivered ...

Abstract: A multiobjective approach is used here to optimize design and operation of the C-Town pipe network, searching for trade-off solutions between (1) installation cost, (2) operational cost, and (3) cost of the ...

Abstract: This paper deals with the fundamental requirement of stability of real-time control algorithms for water distribution systems. Loss of stability may in fact generate strong pressure waves that cause damages to the structure ...
