dc.description.abstract | Optimisation of the operation of water distribution systems has been an active research field for almost half a
century. It has focused mainly on optimal pump operation to minimise pumping costs and optimal water
quality management to ensure that standards at customer nodes are met. This paper provides a systematic
review by bringing together over two hundred publications from the past three decades, which are relevant to
operational optimisation of water distribution systems, particularly optimal pump operation, valve control
and system operation for water quality purposes of both urban drinking and regional multiquality water
distribution systems. Uniquely, it also contains substantial and thorough information for over one hundred
publications in a tabular form, which lists optimisation models inclusive of objectives, constraints, decision
variables, solution methodologies used and other details. Research challenges in terms of simulation models,
optimisation model formulation, selection of optimisation method and postprocessing needs have also been
identified. | en_GB |
