Abstract

See full text

A computerized method for scalable management optimization of pressurized water distribution networks, comprises receiving a network model representing a pressurized water distribution physical network having water flow variables. The network model is simulated by solving non-linear mathematical equations representing the behavior of the water flow variables. One or more result sets are fed to the non-linear mathematical equations. The non-linear mathematical equations are linearized. Network model optimization requirements are received from a user. The linearized mathematical equations are optimized according to the received network model optimization requirements. A local search starting from the at least one optimized solution is performed using the non-linearized mathematical equations, thereby generating a solution.
