Optimal Pump Scheduling in Water Distribution Systems Using Graph Theory under Hydraulic and Chlorine Constraints
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Discrete Pump Scheduling and Leakage Control Using Linear Programming for Optimal Operation of Water Distribution Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Pump station scheduling is a major issue in optimal water system operation. Pump operation may be of an on/off form or of a fluctuating form using a variable-frequency drive (VFD). This research proposes an iterative linear ...
Successive Linear Programming Approach Applied to BBLAWN
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The battle of background leakage assessment for water networks (BBLAWN) challenge was approached using successive linear programming. A linear representation was solved successively for the nonlinear constraints of headloss, ...
Graph Theory Modeling Approach for Optimal Operation of Water Distribution Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A graph theory-based algorithm is demonstrated for optimal pump scheduling of two example application water networks. The hydraulic part of the problem is solved using a dedicated and efficient hydraulic solver. The pump ...

Iterative Linearization Scheme for Convex Nonlinear Equations: Application to Optimal Operation of Water Distribution Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Convex equations exist in different fields of research. As an example are the Hazen-Williams or Darcy-Weisbach head-loss formulas and chlorine decay in water supply systems. Pure linear programming (LP) cannot be directly ...
A Graph Theory-Based Layout Algorithm for PRVs Placement and Setpoint Determination in Water Distribution Systems
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper presents a new valve positioning algorithm (VPA) for water network pressure reduction. The proposed algorithm is a graph theory-based algorithm combined with EPANET2.2 to position pressure-reducing valves (PRVs) ...
