Maintenance Optimization of Water Distribution System: Simulated Annealing Approach
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Water distribution systems are complex interconnected networks that require extensive planning and maintenance to ensure that the drinking water is delivered to the consumers. Lack of adequate water supply in urban areas is due to aging water distribution systems and inadequate maintenance of this critical infrastructure (Bhave 2003). The reliability of such deteriorating systems is continually decreasing and therefore good maintenance planning is required to improve the reliability of these aging water distribution systems. The various maintenance activities of pipe network that are buried underground involve cost. Hence it is necessary to consider maintenance of existing water distribution systems as economically as possible.
