Design Optimization of Water Distribution Networks through a Novel Differential Evolution

Blog Article

Optimization algorithms have proven to be a useful tool in different areas of water resource management including water distribution network (WDN), which may be modelled as MAGNESIUM ORANGE a large scale, combinatorial problem subject to constraints with the typical objective of minimizing the cost.In this study, a fuzzy C-means adaptive differential evolution (FCADE) is proposed to solve three well-known WDN problems: the two-loop distribution network problem, the Hanoi distribution network problem, and New York tunnel distribution network problem.FCADE is integrated with a well-known simulation software EPANET Shorts to manage the pressure constraints requirement.A comparative analysis of results through various performance metrics indicate the competence of FCADE for solving complex WDN problems.
