Dynamic Computer Simulation and Control Methods for Water Distribution Systems.

摘要

The major objectives were to: Build a computerized testbed for simulating the operation of a water distribution system over a variable time and,Develop control methods for on-line operation which minimize operating costs and pump cycling while maintaining satisfactory customer service. The objectives required the development of: Daily system demand model from real operating data;Standard network model;Regression model,from operating data;Control models for turning pumps on/off;Energy/cost model to evaluate a control model;and Dynamic capability for operating the regression or network models over a variable time.
