Book Synopsis Optimization of Water Distribution Networks Using Genetic Algorithm by : Gerçek Güç
Download or read book Optimization of Water Distribution Networks Using Genetic Algorithm written by Gerçek Güç. This book was released on 2011-10. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study gives a description about the development of a computer model, RealPipe, which relates genetic algorithm (GA) to the well known problem of least-cost design of water distribution network. GA methodology is an evolutionary process, basically imitating evolution process of nature. GA is essentially an efficient search method basically for nonlinear optimization cases. The genetic operations take place within the population of chromosomes. By means of various operators, the genetic knowledge in chromosomes change continuously and the success of the population progressively increases as a result of these operations. GA optimization is also well suited for optimization of water distribution systems, especially large and complex systems. The primary objective of this study is optimization of a water distribution network by GA. GA operations are realized on a special program developed by the author called RealPipe. RealPipe optimizes given water network distribution systems by considering capital cost of pipes only.

Book Synopsis Real-coded Genetic Algorithm Parameter Setting for Water Distribution System Optimisation by : Matthew S. Gibbs
Download or read book Real-coded Genetic Algorithm Parameter Setting for Water Distribution System Optimisation written by Matthew S. Gibbs. This book was released on 2008. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The management of Water Distribution Systems (WDSs) involves making decisions about various operations in the network, including the scheduling of pump operations and setting of disinfectant dosing rates. Optimisation methods known as Genetic Algorithms (GAs) have been successfully adopted to assist in determining the best possible solutions to WDS optimisation problems for a number of years. The result from the work undertaken in this thesis is a complete GA calibration methodology. Two methodologies are proposed and evaluated in this thesis, one that considers the selection pressure based on the characteristics of the fitness function, and another that is derived from the time to convergence based on genetic drift, and therefore does not require any information about the fitness function characteristics. The proposed methodologies have been compared against other GA calibration methodologies that have been proposed, as well as typical parameter values to determine the most suitable method to determine the GA parameter values. The comparison of the different calibration approaches demonstrates three main results: 1. that the proposed methodology produced the best results out of the different GA calibration methods compared; 2. that the proposed methodology can be applied in practice; and 3. that a correctly calibrated GA is very beneficial when solutions are required in a limited timeframe." -- From abstract.

Book Synopsis Storage and Pumping System Optimization Using Genetic Algorithms by : Tobias A. Bloch
Download or read book Storage and Pumping System Optimization Using Genetic Algorithms written by Tobias A. Bloch. This book was released on 1998. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Water distributions systems generally do not operate at or their optimal points. The operational procedures of these systems should be reworked to make them more economically efficient. The ability to optimize (i.e., for economic efficiency) the operation of water distribution systems is hindered by the dimensionally (i.e., many different subsystems to optimize simultaneously) inherent in these systems. This is especially true for small time steps, pumping systems utilizing multiple pumps and distribution networks with multiple storage tanks. A branch of computer science called Genetic Algorithms has been shown to be very effective for optimizing complex systems. Genetic Algorithms are utilized in Two computer programs developed in this thesis. These programs were tested against simple water distribution systems and produced optimal solutions in a very short period of time. The architecture (i.e., program structure) for future computer programs that are based on the platform created in this thesis is also presented. These proposed versions should be useful in the optimization of large water distribution systems, something which has never been possible before.
