Fast network multi-objective design algorithm combined with an a posteriori procedure for reliability evaluation under various operational scenarios

摘要: This paper presents a methodology for the optimal design of water supply networks. It features multi-objective optimisation (aimed at minimising costs and maximising resilience) subsequent ‘retrospective’ evaluation network reliability under various operational scenarios. The is based on an algorithm specifically developed real networks which feature very high number nodes pipes. assessed considering resilience contrasted with several other indexes adopted to describe performance critical scenarios such as segment isolation or hydrant activation, different demand conditions. In applications two case studies, made up simple benchmark respectively, are considered optimisation; performed only network. latter example c...
