Optimization of Water Pressure of a Distribution Network within the Water–Energy Nexus

Pressure control in water distribution networks (WDNs) reduces leaks and bursting. Thus, it is regarded as a valuable solution to cut costs related the operation maintenance of WDNs recommended for use deteriorated pipes. However, growing consumer demand satisfactory performance from faucets, combined with reduced pressure supply companies, has resulted an increased need domestic booster systems (WPBSs) led increase energy demand. This misalignment interests between companies consumers highlights water–energy nexus perspective. research aims find optimizing any WDN through application WPBSs simultaneously minimize cost associated leaks, repairs burst pipes, consumption. methodology applied Baharestan city, where optimum 47.6 mH2O calculated. According sensitivity analysis inputs, optimized are most sensitive loss leakage exponent, respectively. Moreover, hourly optimization based on changes prices throughout day estimated by 41%.
