Multiobjective Evolutionary Algorithms Applied to the Rehabilitation of a Water Distribution System: A Comparative Study
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recognising the multiobjective nature of the decision process for rehabilitation of water supply distribution systems, this paper presents a comparative study of two multiobjective evolutionary methods, namely, multiobjective genetic algorithm (MOGA) and strength Pareto evolutionary algorithm (SPEA). The analyses were conducted on a simple hypothetical network for cost minimisation and minimum pressure requirement, treated as a two-objective problem. For the application example studied, SPEA outperforms MOGA in terms of the Pareto fronts produced and processing time required.
