Booster disinfection stations are the solution alternative to maintain required disinfectant residual concentration in water distribution networks. In the present study, an optimisation problem to determine the optimum injection rates is solved. The minimisation of the total injected mass is considered as the objective function which is subjected to bound constraints on chlorine concentration. Two formulations are used for the linear optimisation problem, with and without considering the initial concentrations as unknowns. Determination of variable network hydraulics and chlorine concentrations is achieved by EPANET. A C++ code was developed to interface with EPANET by means of the EPANET Programmer's Toolkit for optimisation of the disinfectant mass applied to the network. Finally, a cross check is achieved in EPANET software for both disinfectant residual concentrations and linear superposition principle.

Chance Constrained Optimization of Booster Chlorination in Water Distribution Networks
Köker, Ezgi; Altan Sakarya, Ayşe Burcu (2015-01-01)
Quality of municipal water is sustained by addition of disinfectant, generally chlorine, to the water distribution network. Because of health problems, chlorine concentration in the network is limited between maximum and minimum limits. Carcinogenic disinfectant by-products start to occur at high concentrations so it is desired to have minimum amount of chlorine without violating the limit. In addition to the health issues, minimum injection amount is favorable concerning cost. Hence, an optimization proble...

Optimal operation of water distribution pumps considering water quality
Altan Sakarya, Ayşe Burcu (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2000-07-01)
A new methodology has been developed for determining the optimal operation of water distribution system pumps with water quality considerations. The methodology is based upon describing the operation as a discrete time optimal scheduling problem that can be used to determine the optimal operation schedules of the pumps in distribution systems. The solution methodology is based upon a mathematical programming approach resulting in a large-scale nonlinear programming problem that cannot be solved using existi...
Evaluation of performance and optimum valve settings for pressure management using forecasted daily demand curves by artificial neural networks
Yıldız, Evren; Merzi, Nuri; Department of Civil Engineering (2011)
For the appropriate operation and correct short term planning, daily demand curve (DDC) of municipal water distribution networks should be forecasted beforehand. For that purpose, artificial neural networks (ANN) is used as a new method. The proposed approach employs already recorded DDCs extracted from the database of ASKI (Ankara Water Authority) SCADA center and related independent parameters such as temperature and relative humidity obtained from DMI (State Meteorological Institute). In this study, a co...
Optimal operation of water distribution systems for water quality purposes
Altan Sakarya, Ayşe Burcu (1999-06-09)
A new methodology has been developed for determining the optimal operation of water distribution systems for water quality purposes. The methodology is based upon describing the operation as a discrete time optimal control problem that can be used to determine the optimal operation schedules of the pumps in distribution systems. The solution methodology is based upon a mathematical programming approach resulting in a large scale nonlinear programming problem which can not be solved by using existing nonline...
