A New Method for Optimization of Water Distribution Networks While Considering Accidents
Optimization of water distribution networks can effectively reduce their annual cost, which includes the average investment for each year the operational costs and depreciation costs. However, the existing optimization models rarely directly consider the basic flow of each node in case of accidents, such as pipe bursts. Therefore, it is necessary to check the flow requirements under accident conditions. In order to deal with these drawbacks, two optimization models are established considering accident conditions: a single-objective optimization model considering annual cost as an economic objective, and a multi-objective optimization model with a reliability objective defined by the surplus water head. These models are solved based on the genetic algorithm, non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm-II algorithm and Levenberg-Marquardt iterative method. Applying two cases of a single pump station and a multi pump water station water supply, it is shown that the annual cost when considering the accident conditions is higher than that without considering the accident conditions. Moreover, the annual cost obtained with the multi-objective optimization model is slightly higher than that obtained with the single-objective optimization model. The cost is higher because the former model reduces the average surplus water head, which can improve the water distribution network reliability. Therefore, the model and optimization algorithm proposed in this paper can provide a general and fast optimization tool for water distribution network optimization.
