Efficient Two-Phase Algorithm to Solve Nonconvex MINLP Model of Pump Scheduling Problem
(ASCE, 8/1/2021)In water distribution networks, pumps are used to raise the pressure of water and transfer it throughout the network. Because the cost of electricity consumed by pumps is very high, optimal planning of pumping operations ... -
Diagnosing the Time-Varying Value of Forecasts in Multiobjective Reservoir Control
(ASCE, 7/1/2021)This work forwards time-varying sensitivity analysis of control policies as an approach to identify the value of the alternative timing of forecasts in a complex multipurpose reservoir system. The time-varying forecast ... -
Microeconomic Ensemble Modeling to Inform Robust Adaptation to Water Scarcity in Irrigated Agriculture
(ASCE, 7/1/2021)This paper compares the economic performance of a dam construction strategy versus a no dam construction (i.e., the statu quo) strategy under multiple scenarios and using a multimodel ensemble of three microeconomic ... -
Sensitivity of Forecast Value in Multiobjective Reservoir Operation to Forecast Lead Time and Reservoir Characteristics
(ASCE, 6/1/2021)Streamflow forecasts can be used to improve reservoir operation decision-making, yet the sensitivity of forecast value to forecast lead time and reservoir characteristics in multiobjective reservoir operations is rarely ... -
Contaminant-Source Detection in a Water Distribution System Using the Ensemble Kalman Filter
(ASCE, 7/1/2021)Early detection of a contamination leach into a water distribution system, followed by the identification of the source and an evaluation of the total amount of the contaminant that has been injected into the system, is ... -
Improving the Robustness of Reservoir Operations with Stochastic Dynamic Programming
(ASCE, 7/1/2021)Reservoir operations should consider both adaptiveness and robustness to deal with two of the main characteristics of climate change: nonstationarity and deep uncertainty. In particular, robust operational strategies are ... -
Approach for Near-Real-Time Pipe Burst Detection, Localization, and Quantification with Low Data Transmission and Sampling Rates
(ASCE, 7/1/2021)The purpose of the paper is to present an approach for pipe burst detection, localization, and cross-sectional area quantification based on the changes in the discrete harmonic spectrogram and analysis of damping of fluid ... -
Automated Household Water End-Use Disaggregation through Rule-Based Methodology
(ASCE, 6/1/2021)Application of smart meters to the residential sector can provide insight into where and when water is used, thereby enabling utilities to achieve an efficient management of water distribution systems. Moreover, detailed ... -
Water-Energy Nexus-Based Economic Optimization of Water Supply Projects
(ASCE, 8/1/2021)This paper adopts the water-energy nexus approach to investigate the economic impacts of costly energy-intensive water supply projects. An integrated modeling framework is proposed for the regional-scale management of water ... -
Revisiting the Water Quality Sensor Placement Problem: Optimizing Network Observability and State Estimation Metrics
(ASCE, 7/1/2021)Real-time water quality (WQ) sensors in water distribution networks (WDN) have the potential to enable network-wide observability of water quality indicators, contamination event detection, and closed-loop feedback control ... -
Deriving Reservoir Cascade Operation Rules for Variable Streamflows by Optimizing Hydropower Generation and Irrigation Water Delivery
(ASCE, 7/1/2021)Determining beneficial operation rules for complex reservoir cascades is challenging due to the variability of river inflows, multiple water users, and the computational burden imposed by optimization calculations. Water ... -
Approach for Water Distribution System Model Calibration Based on Iterative Sherman–Morrison Formula
(ASCE, 5/1/2021)Real-time modeling of water distribution systems (WDSs) has received much attention in WDS operation and management. As the model input, nodal water demand must be calibrated in a timely manner. However, for the large-scale ... -
