RISWater Distribution System Optimization Considering Behind-the-Meter Solar Energy with a Hydraulic Power-Based Search-Space Reduction Method
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: To meet increasing energy demands, reduce environmental impacts, and increase economic benefits, many water utilities have installed on-site renewable energy generation and storage facilities. These are commonly referred ...
Surplus Power Factor as a Resilience Measure for Assessing Hydraulic Reliability in Water Transmission System Optimization
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The hydraulic reliability of a water distribution system (WDS) can be improved by increasing the resilience to failure conditions. In previous research, numerous measures have been developed to quantify network resilience, ...
Accounting for Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Multiobjective Genetic Algorithm Optimization of Water Distribution Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Considerable research has been carried out on the optimization of water distribution systems (WDSs) over the last three decades. In previous research, attention has mainly focused on the minimization of cost, due to the ...
Single-Objective versus Multiobjective Optimization of Water Distribution Systems Accounting for Greenhouse Gas Emissions by Carbon Pricing
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Previous research has demonstrated that there are significant trade-offs between the competing objectives of minimizing costs and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for water distribution system (WDS) optimization. However, ...
Incorporation of Variable-Speed Pumping in Multiobjective Genetic Algorithm Optimization of the Design of Water Transmission Systems
