Abstract: A new dynamic optimization (DO) approach to solve large scale optimal scheduling problems for water distribution networks is presented. The main motivation of this research is to formulate an algorithm which is significantly ...

Abstract: This paper presents a method for the reduction of network models described by a system of nonlinear algebraic equations. Such models are, for example, present when modeling water networks, electrical networks, and gas ...

Abstract: This note proposes models for efficiency and mechanical input power of a group of parallel identical pumps which can be fixed or variable speed. Two approaches are considered. In the first approach, the power characteristic ...

Abstract: The paper addresses the selection of new pumps as part of a major redevelopment of a large scale urban water‐distribution system in which the locations of existing and planned pumping stations are already established. The ...
