Dynamic Approach for Water Distribution Network Clustering and Aggregation

Publication: World Environmental and Water Resources Congress 2017

Abstract

A new dynamic methodology is presented to attack network clustering and network aggregation problems. The aim of water network clustering and aggregation is to have better understanding of water distribution and network behavior and assist in the development of engineering tools to increase network optimal performance, supply quality and water safety. Clustering techniques take use of the water network topology and flow regime to group nodes with pre-determent properties in such way that a new, aggregated and simplified, network is created without the loss of network hydraulic characteristics and performance. A connectivity based methodology for network clustering is chosen in this work as the clustering method and a new dynamic approach is demonstrated through a series of cases and algorithms on a sample network.
