Customer Service-Oriented Water Distribution Network Management through Optimized Control Valve Installation
Publication: Pipelines 2023
ABSTRACT
Customer demand for water supply services has changed from quantitative to qualitative, and the need for services is increasing. This study aims to develop a multi-objective model that minimizes water supply risks and costs by installing additional control valves to achieve the level of service demanded by consumers. As a result of applying the model to an existing water distribution network with a current water suspension risk of 22 h in a year, an optimal control valve location was derived that could reduce the risk by 45%. Installing additional control valves was found to be a more appropriate alternative than replacing the aged pipes. In addition, the model was verified to derive the optimal solution through the Pareto solution under various conditions. This study provides a reference for establishing plans for future water distribution network (WDN) management.
