RISIntegrating Supply Uncertainties from Stochastic Modeling into Integrated Water Resource Management: Case Study of the Saskatchewan River Basin
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A warming climate and land management intensification have altered water supply characteristics in many regions of the world. Incorporation of water supply uncertainties into long-term water resources planning and management ...
Identifying High Power–Density Stream Reaches through Refined Geospatial Resolution in Hydropower Resource Assessment
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Aided by the rapid development of multiple geospatial data sets for topography, hydrology, and existing energy-water infrastructures, reconnaissance-level hydropower resource assessment can now be conducted using geospatial ...
Effect 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 ...
Optimizing Multireservoir Operation: Hybrid of Bat Algorithm and Differential Evolution
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper introduces an improved bat algorithm (IBA) with a hybrid mutation strategy to improve its global search ability. In an effort to guide the evolution and reinforce the convergence efficiently, the spatial ...
Effect of Northern Hemisphere Teleconnections on the Hydropower Production in Southern Sweden
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Approximately 50% of Sweden’s electricity is produced by hydropower. This makes energy production in the country vulnerable to factors affecting water availability. Research has shown a positive correlation between the ...
Combining Engineering Judgment and an Optimization Model to Increase Hydraulic and Energy Efficiency in Water Distribution Networks
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a methodology for optimizing the operations of water distribution networks. The methodology combines the use of best management practices with a pseudogenetic algorithm, and has been applied to solve ...
Leak Detection and Localization through Demand Components Calibration
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Success in the application of any model-based methodology (e.g., design, control, supervision) highly depends on the availability of a well-calibrated model. The calibration of water distribution networks needs to be ...
Decomposition Approach for Background Leakage Assessment: BBLAWN Instance
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper summarizes an approach for the assessment and control of background leakage on water distribution networks. The methodology was developed for the battle of background leakage assessment for water networks (BBLAWN) ...
Hydraulic Simulation Techniques for Water Distribution Networks to Treat Pressure Deficient Conditions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Hydraulic analysis schemes for water distribution networks can be divided into demand-driven analysis (DDA) and pressure-driven analysis (PDA) according to the ways of calculating available outflow at nodes based on the ...
Accuracy of First-Order Second-Moment Approximation for Uncertainty Analysis of Water Distribution Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study performs an extensive investigation to explore critical factors that affect the accuracy of the first-order second-moment (FOSM) approximation when it is used as a nodal pressure head uncertainty estimation ...
