The work in this paper describes a study of quantised state systems in order to formulate a new framework within which water distribution systems can be modelled and simulated. In contrast to the classic time-slicing ...

Nowadays, it is common that water distribution network (WDN) models contain thousands of elements to accurately replicate hydraulic behaviour and topographical layout of real systems. Such models are appropriate for ...

This paper considers development of a methodology for an on-line energy and leakage management in water distribution systems, formulated within a model predictive control framework. The approach involves calculation of ...

This paper presents development of water network model reduction software, Simplifier2. The application can be integrated with other concepts applied to water distribution system or it can be used as a standalone tool for ...

This paper considers optimisation of pump and valve schedules in complex large-scale water distribution networks (WDN), taking into account pressure aspects such as minimum service pressure and pressuredependent leakage. ...

This paper presents an implementation of the simplification algorithm of water distribution network (WDN) models for the purpose of inclusion to the online optimisation strategy for the energy and leakage management in ...

The Battle of Post-Disaster Response and Restauration (BPDRR) is a challenging optimization problem which requires the restauration of the B-city water distribution network (WDN) after an earthquake. More specifically, the ...

The paper presents the partial results of the EU BlueSCities project [1]. The project is developing the methodology for the integration of the water and waste sectors within the ’Smart Cities and Communities’ concept to ...
