Coupled multi-objective optimization of water distribution network design and partitioning: a spectral graph-theory approach
This paper proposes a novel method that integrates a tailored spectral graph metric and economic aspects within a coupled bi-objective optimization framework for the simultaneous pipe sizing and partitioning of water distribution networks (WDNs). Besides minimum pressure head and topological WDN connectivity, the telescopic diameter distribution criterion is applied through a new algorithm in the sizing phase to help the optimization converge towards sound engineering solutions. The application of the proposed method to a synthetic layout and a real Italian case study proves the superiority of the solutions obtained with the novel method from hydraulic and managerial/operational viewpoints in comparison with those obtained with a traditional decoupled method (separate pipe sizing and partitioning) in terms of i) compliance with service pressure constraints and ii) ease of management following WDN partitioning into district metered areas (DMAs).
