RISEffect of Storage Tank Size on the Minimization of Water Distribution System Cost and Greenhouse Gas Emissions While Considering Time-Dependent Emissions Factors
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The importance of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, which have been linked to human-induced climate change, is gradually being recognized by water utilities. Although multiobjective optimization has been applied by ...
Impact of Starting Position and Searching Mechanism on the Evolutionary Algorithm Convergence Rate
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Use of Domain Knowledge to Increase the Convergence Rate of Evolutionary Algorithms for Optimizing the Cost and Resilience of Water Distribution Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Evolutionary algorithms (EAs) have been used extensively for the optimization of water distribution systems (WDSs) over the last two decades. However, computational efficiency can be a problem, especially when EAs are ...
