Water distribution networks are a key component of modern infrastructure for housing and industry. They transport distribute water via widely branched from sources to consumers. In order guarantee working network at all times, the supply company continuously monitors takes actions when necessary – e.g. reacting leakages, sensor faults drops in quality. Since real world too large complex be moni...

Abstract This paper introduces two methodologies to provide an optimum sensor deployment layout, one based on a model-based approach and the other entirely data-driven. The first method is formulated as integer optimization problem, criterion consisting of minimizing average topological distance. second new methodology placement regarding how many sensors install without using hydraulic informa...

Total Channel ControlTM is a patented automation design for large scale open canal irrigation networks that manages water distribution within capacity constraints to achieve on-demand water delivery whilst maximizing water distribution. Here it is shown that this decentralized and distributed control implementation realizes near globally optimal performance. Furthermore, the performance enhance...

The progression towards smart grids, integrating renewable energy resources, has increased the integration of distributed generators (DGs) into power distribution networks. However, several economic and technical challenges can result from the unsuitable incorporation of DGs in existing distribution networks. Therefore, optimal placement and sizing of DGs are of paramount importance to improve ...
