Many algorithms to find a minimum cost design of water distribution network (WDN) have been developed during the last decades. Most of them have tried to optimize cost only while satisfying other constraining conditions. For this, a certain degree of simplification is required in their calculation process which inevitably limits the real application of the algorithms, especially, to large networks. In this paper, an optimum design method using the Genetic Algorithms (GA) is developed which is designed to increase the applicability, especially for the real world large WDN. The increased to applicability is due to the inherent characteristics of GA consisting of selection, reproduction, crossover and mutation. Just for illustration, the GA method is applied to find an optimal solution of the New York City water supply tunnel. For the calculation, the parameter of population size and generation number is fixed to 100 and the probability of crossover is 0.7, the probability of mutation is 0.01. The yielded optimal design is found to be superior to the least cost design obtained from the Linear Program method by $4.276 million.

The reduction of leakage is a major issue of the South Korea water industry. The inclusion of pressure dependent leakage terms in network analysis allows the application of optimization techniques to identify the most effective means of reducing water leakage in distribution networks. This paper proposes a method to find optimal setting and location of control valve for reducing leakage efficiently. The proposed search method differs from previous methods for addressing optimal valve location problem and improves the GA simulation time with guaranteeing for getting the global optimal solution. The strength of this method has been demonstrated by means of case studies. This allows the procedure of optimization to be more robust and computational efficient.

관망해석 시뮬레이션과 유전자 알고리즘에 기초한 최적화 모형을 이용하여 최소비용의 배수관망을 설계하는 방법론이 개발되었다. 유전자 알고리즘은 추계학적 최적화 기법의 하나로, 비선형적이고 계산량이 많은 관망설계 문제에 적용하기에 적합한 장점을 가지고 있다. 기존의 연구가 대부분 전체 관망의 신설 혹은 기존 관망의 병렬확장에만 적용하던 것에 비해 본 연구에서는 개발된 모형을 수지상(tree-type) 신설관 및 loop형 병렬증설관이 공존하는 시스템에 적용하였다. 개발된 모형을 백련 배수관로를 대상으로 적용한 결과, 수리학적 제약조건을 만족시키면서 사업비를 최대 5.37% 절감할 수 있는 설계를 제공하는 것으로 나타났다.

Although it produces well-treated water in water treatment plant, water quality at the tap can be changed depending on the state of pipes. It is because water quality deteriorates as plant water passes through pipeline networks. Therefore, the improvement of not only water treatment technology but also O & M of water pipelines is required to supply good water to consumers. The purpose of the study was to obtain the basic data of control technology for water quality in pipes through investigating water quality in distribution system. We selected 11 sampling sites and investigated water quality from plant to endpoint of distribution system. we also simulated decreasing tendency of free chlorine through pipeline network. As the result of water quality test, all parameters were below allowable levels, but some parameters had the possibility of being over levels. So there must be more work to set up proper countermeasure for violable parameters.

지하에 매설되어 있는 사회기반시설물 중 하나인 상수도시스템은 정수처리된 물을 수용가에게 수송 및 공급하는 기능을 가지고 있다. 최근들어, 계측능력이 향상됨에 따라 유량데이터에 의한 딥러닝기법을 적용한 누수 인지 및 탐지와 관련한 연구가 다수 수행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 현재까지 상수도 분야에 적용되지 않은 LSTM 기반의 딥러닝 알고리즘을 활용하여 누수발생에 대한 인지 모형을 개발하였다. 가정한 데이터를 기반으로 모형에 대한 검증을 수행하였으며 2% 이상의 누수가 발생한 경우에 대하여 모두 인식이 가능한 것으로 나타났다. 향후, 제안된 모형을 토대로 유량 데이터 예측부분에 있어서 보다 정밀한 결과가 도출 될 수 있을것으로 판단된다.

상수관망 시스템은 다수의 이용자에게 용수를 공급하기 위한 사회기반시설물로써, 적절한 수압을 유지하고 안정적으로 용수를 공급할 수 있어야 한다. 따라서 안정적인 설계와 효율적인 운영을 위해서는 상수관망 시스템의 용수 공급능력을 정량적으로 파악하는 것이 중요하다. 이러한 노력의 일환으로 상수관망 시스템 내 에너지 거동을 통해 신뢰도를 정량화한 신뢰도 지수가 다양한 방법으로 개발되어 왔다. 대부분의 신뢰도 지수는 공통적으로 절점에서의 최소요구수두 및 초과수두의 형태로 공급된 에너지를 기반으로 산정되며, 일부 지수의 경우 상수관망에 공급된 총 에너지 또는 용수 공급과정에서 손실된 에너지를 추가적으로 고려하여 산정된다. 본 연구에서는 상수관망의 용수 공급 과정에 따른 에너지 구성 요소를 소개하였으며 기존에 개발된 몇 가지 신뢰도 지수를 대상으로, 상수관망의 공급부하 상황을 고려한 시나리오 분석을 통해 신뢰도 지수의 적용성을 알아보고자 하였다. 또한, 각 절점 별 지수값을 도시함으로써, 상수관망 내 신뢰도의 공간적 분포를 나타내어 분석함으로써 보다 확장된 시스템 신뢰도 지수의 활용방안을 제시하였다.

Optimal design of the water supply pipe network aims to minimize construction cost while satisfying the required hydraulic constraints such as the minimum and maximum pressures, and velocity. Since considering one single design factor (i.e., cost) is very vulnerable for including future conditions and cannot satisfy operator's needs, various design factors should be considered. Hence, this study presents three kinds of design factors (i.e., minimizing construction cost, maximizing reliability, and surplus head) to perform multi-objective optimization design. Harmony Search (HS) Algorithm is used as an optimization technique. As well-known benchmark networks, Hanoi network and Gyeonggi-do P city real world network are used to verify the applicability of the proposed model. In addition, the proposed multi-objective model is also applied to a real water distribution networks and the optimization results were statistically analyzed. The results of the optimal design for the benchmark and real networks indicated much better performance compared to those of existing designs and the other approach (i.e., Genetic Algorithm) in terms of cost and reliability, cost, and surplus head. As a result, this study is expected to contribute for the efficient design of water distribution networks.

Aging water pipe networks hinder efficient management of important water service indices such as revenue water and leakage ratio due to pipe breakage and malfunctioning of pipe appurtenance. In order to control leakage in water pipe networks, various methods such as the minimum night flow analysis and sound waves method have been used. However, the accuracy and efficiency of detecting water leak by these methods need to be improved due to the increase of water consumption at night. In this study the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) technique was applied to the night water flow data of 426 days collected from a water distribution system in the interval of one hour. Based on the PCA technique, computational algorithms were developed to narrow the time windows for efficient execution of leak detection job. The algorithms were programmed on computer using the MATLAB. The presented techniques are expected to contribute to the efficient management of water pipe networks by providing more effective time windows for the detection of the anomaly of pipe network such as leak or abnormal demand.

Indexes of safety, restoration, damage impact, and management reliability were developed to assess reliability of drinking water distribution networks (DWDNs) management. The developed indexes were applied to evaluate the reliability of the pipeline management stage during unexpected mechanical and hydraulic accidents of components. The results were used to support the decision-making process in effective management and maintenance by enhancing the administrator's system understanding and by helping to create appropriate maintenance and management policies. The results of this study indicated that application of a management reliability index to assess DWDNs reliability may help create a more effective plan for establishing DWDNs management and maintenance.

Average pressure in a pipe network is one of critical factors to estimate the flow distribution and to calculate UARL (Unavoidable Annual Real Losses) value in ILI (Infrastructure Leakage Index). While its collection period and measuring location are essential to obtain average pressure, their standard method have not been established so far. In this study, proper method including its procedure for data collection period and measuring point for average pressure were suggested using non-exceedance probability concept in the water distribution network.
