RISWater Distribution System Optimization Using Metamodels
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Genetic algorithms (GAs) have been shown to apply well to optimizing the design and operations of water distribution systems (WDSs). The objective has usually been to minimize cost, subject to hydraulic constraints such ...
Comparison of Genetic Algorithm Parameter Setting Methods for Chlorine Injection Optimization
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The suitability of genetic algorithms (GAs) for the optimization of water distribution systems (WDSs) has been demonstrated extensively. However, despite many years of application in many different fields, the selection ...
Optimal Operation of Complex Water Distribution Systems Using Metamodels
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Optimization of large and hydraulically complex water distribution systems (WDSs) is computationally expensive as simulation models are required to evaluate the performance of solutions to the problem at hand. Metamodels ...
Optimal Control of Total Chlorine and Free Ammonia Levels in a Water Transmission Pipeline Using Artificial Neural Networks and Genetic Algorithms
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this study, a model predictive control (MPC) system is developed for the goldfield and agricultural water system (GAWS) east of Perth in Western Australia. As part of the study, four months’ water quality and hydraulic ...
Improved Ant Colony Optimization for Optimal Crop and Irrigation Water Allocation by Incorporating Domain Knowledge
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An improved ant colony optimization (ACO) formulation for the allocation of crops and water to different irrigation areas is developed. The formulation enables dynamic decision variable option (DDVO) adjustment and makes ...
