Energy Efficiency in Water Supply Systems: GA for Pump Schedule Optimization and ANN for Hybrid Energy Prediction
نویسندگان
چکیده
According to Watergy (2009), about two or three percent of the energy consumption in the world is used for pumping and water treatment for urban and industrial purposes. The con‐ sumption of energy, in most of water systems all over the world, could be reduced at least 25%, through performance improvements in the energy efficiency. Hence, it is noticeable the importance of development of models which define operational strategies in pumping sta‐ tions, aiming at their best energy efficiency solution.
