This poster paper's objective was to improve water system
transmission, distribution,
storage and pumping
capacities at the Gwinnett County Water Distribution System to address low
pressure and fire protection
problems identified in the
hydraulic model simulations
for 2010, 2020 and 2030. The experimental approach to the optimization
problem was to utilize an integer-coded
genetic algorithm coupled with the
EPANET dynamic link library (DLL) called ENCOMS. ENCOMS is an adaptive optimization software package powered
by the use of genetic algorithms and hydraulic
modeling and has the following capabilities:
automate sizing of new and parallel pipes;
compare hundreds of thousands of solutions in an
organized and efficient way;
improve confidence by expanding design options;
maintain flexibility in defining boundary conditions; and,
identify superior design alternatives at greatest
saving.
