Svm Model

To evaluate the security of urban water distribution network, one model based on LS-SVM was put forth. On the basis of summary and analysis of influential factors for urban water distribution network security, a set of indexes used in the evaluation model above was constructed. The nonlinear mapping between the water distribution networks security classification and its conditions were learned from the finite samples and a water distribution network example was simulated using this model. In addition, the BP ANN model was used to simulate the same example. Through the analysis of the result of the actual security level, the security level acquired by the LS-SVM model and BP ANN model, it may be found that the result acquired by the LS-SVM model has high accuracy, and may used in actual engineering.

Elevation Difference

Water network partitioning (WNP) represents an efficient strategy to improve management of water distribution networks, reduce water losses and monitor water quality. It consists in physically dividing of a water distribution network (WDN) into districted metered areas (DMAs) through the placement of flow meters and isolation valves on boundary pipes between DMAs. In this paper, a novel methodology for designing DMAs is proposed that provides districts with quite similar node elevations and minimizes the number of boundary pipes in order to simplify pressure management and reduce the number of devices to place into the network.
