Impact of Water-Quality Conditions in Source Reservoirs on the Optimal Operation of a Regional Multiquality Water-Distribution System
The impact of water quality conditions in source reservoirs on the optimal operation of a regional multiquality water-distribution system is analyzed. The optimization model concurrently minimizes three operational objectives being pump energy costs, turbidity, and salinity deviations at customer demand nodes from allowed values. The optimization problem is solved using the optimization tool GANetXL incorporating the NSGA-II, linked with the network analysis software EPANet. The example network adapted from the literature captures some of the unique features of the Wimmera Mallee Pipeline in Australia. Six scenarios representing different water quality conditions in source reservoirs are analyzed. It was discovered that two types of trade-offs, competing and noncompeting, exist between the objectives and that the type of trade-off is not unique between a particular pair of objectives for all scenarios. These and other findings may be of particular use to system operators in their long-term operational planning and decision making.
