Optimization algorithms of operative control in water distribution systems

This paper discusses a multilevel algorithm for finding optimal control in a static distribution system based on the idea of aggregation technique. We present mathematical model of this system with its elements as well as two basic algorithms. The first is a simulation algorithm of the pipeline network and the other is an algorithm for finding an optimal control at the pumping station. This paper discusses the static problem (Kotowski and Olesiak, 1980) of energy wastes minimization in the water network and also describes an algorithm for solving it. Finally, an algorithm of operative control of the water distribution systems is presented.
