چکیده

This paper fits within the context of the implementation of the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD) and its emission-immission based approach for river basin management. More particularly, it focuses on the sewer-wastewater treatment-river system. Using an integrated model of various system configurations of a real case study, a scenario analysis is performed by evaluating simulation results according to a wide range of hydrological and biochemical criteria. The paper focuses on the selected criteria and proposes an evaluation matrix as a compact way to represent simulation results. It also contains an in-depth discussion on the interpretation of the results, which illustrate the impact of the urban catchment on the receiving river.

Modelling and real-time control of the integrated urban wastewater system

In the European Union, the Water Framework Directive (WFD) enforces a good ecological and chemical status of all surface waters. In-stream (immission) concentrations and populations need to comply with certain standards. In order to deal with this new legislation, integrated urban water management is an important issue. Real-time control (RTC) is one approach that may be used to improve the per...

The Effects of Electricity Boiler on Integrated CCHP-Thermal-Heat Only Unit Commitment Problem Based on Hybrid GA Approach

Combined cooling, heat, and power (CCHP) units can be integrated with conventional separate cooling, heat, and power production units to meet demands. The goal of this study is to develop and examine a hybrid GA-heuristic optimization algorithm for solving the unit commitment problem for integrated CCHP-thermal-heat only system with considerations for electricity boiler. When environmental emis...

Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions from Urban Wastewater System: Future Assessment Framework and Methodology

Over the last two decades much scientific effort has been expended on the radiative gaseous emissions in the atmosphere. Although there are no regulatory requirements for managing gaseous emissions at present, the long term indications are, that impact relater to air pollution must embrace the broad diversity and challenges associated with urban wastewater cycle management. This study has been ...

Use of surrogate modelling for multiobjective optimisation of urban wastewater systems.

Simulation models are now available to represent the sewer network, wastewater treatment plant and receiving water as an integrated system. These models can be combined with optimisation methods to improve overall system performance through optimal control. Evolutionary algorithms (EAs) have been proven to be a powerful method in developing optimal control strategies; however, the intensive com...

Strategic planning of urban transportation system based on sustainable development dimensions using an integrated SWOT and fuzzy COPRAS approach

Today, urban transportation has attracted urban planners’ and researchers' attention because of air and noise pollution problems associated with it. In Shahrkord city in Iran, no plans have been made for sustainable transportation, and the available poor transportation infrastructure is not responsive to the growing population of the city. This issue has inflicted the city with serious problems...
