RISOptimization of Water Distribution Systems Using Online Retrained Metamodels
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper proposes the use of online retrained metamodels for the optimization of water distribution system (WDS) design. In these metamodels, artificial neural networks (ANNs) are used to replace the full hydraulic and ...
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 ...
Evaluating the Robustness of Water Quality Sensor Placement Strategies of Water Distribution Systems Considering Possible Sensor Failures and System Changes
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: An early contamination warning system with deployed water quality sensors is often used to enhance the safety of a water distribution system (WDS). While algorithms have been developed to select an optimal water quality ...
