WATER SUPPLY NETWORK MODEL FOR OPERATION CONTROL

Abstract

The well-known methods of elaboration of optimal operation strategies of water supply systems are based on quasi-stationary simulation. The aim of substituting models is the significant decrease of the simulation's time and memory demand. In the first applications the determination of the parameters of the substituting model was based on the result of the analysis made on the detailed system. This substituting model was suitable to work out the optimal operation for this system but it was not generalizable. The new method of elaboration of substituting models is based on a new structure of the network and consumption, and the regression analysis to calculate the parameters of the model. The identification of the substituting models is based on the comparison of the typical characteristic curves and on the comparison of the simulation results of the original and the substituting models.
