| Abstract | |
This research project proposes the study of reliability applied to real time optimization of operation of water supply network (WSN). It is desired to obtain robust real time optimization of operation through the use of adequate techniques which accounts the inherent uncertainty of a real WSN. To accomplish the task it is necessary to associate to the optimization model a demand forecaster and a hydraulic simulator. The forecaster will produce the future demand for the planning horizon to serve as input for the simulator, so it is possible to obtain the optimized operation to meet the predicted demand. It was implemented the AMALGAM (\"A Multialgorithm Genetically Adaptive Method\") to serve as optimization model as well as the necessary computational routine to link the EPANET hydraulic simulator as well as the demand forecaster based on DAN2. The developed model was applied to the sectors Eliana, Iguatemi and Martinez, which are part of the water system operated by the Autonomous Department of Water and Sewer (DAAE) of Araraquara, SP. The water network model was calibrated using data collected on field campaign to gather pressure and flow data. The optimized operation was compared to the operation from DAAE, resulting in reduction of energy consumption cost of 14%, 13% and 30% respectively for the sectors Eliana, Iguatemi and Martinez.
