Booster Optimization for Water Distribution System Based on Trapezoidal Fuzzy Distribution
Publication: Journal of Pipeline Systems Engineering and Practice
Volume 14, Issue 1
Abstract
In this work, an optimization model to deal with uncertainty of boosters in water distribution systems (WDSs) was proposed. The model proposed can cope with the nonlinearities and intervals of the objective function, the intervals of the left-hand sides of the constraints, and trapezoidal fuzzy uncertainty of the right-hand sides of the constraints. The proposed model was applied to two case studies to obtain the optimal intervals of booster costs. The results indicated that the lower bounds and the upper bounds increased with confidence levels, preference parameter values, and the booster numbers. In addition, the boosters located at the end far from the source is beneficial for reducing booster costs. Moreover, the operation costs decreased with increase of booster numbers, and increased with values and the confidence levels. The results obtained can help managers making economical decisions for booster numbers and injection rates under uncertainty.
