Interactive Visualisation

Evolutionary algorithms have been used to optimize water systems in the literature for over three decades. However, their use for solving real-world water system problems in industry is still very limited. The work presented in this paper details the development of an interactive visualisation client for water distribution network design, which is part of a larger project to bring EAs closer to practicing engineers. The system aims at engaging engineers by actively involving them in the optimization process through the use of advanced visual analytics and novel interactive evolution techniques.

Parallel Evolutionary Algorithm

In this paper, an evolutionary algorithm, called EA-WDND, is developed to optimize water distribution network design for real instances. The evolutionary algorithm uses the Epanet Solver which, while not an optimizer, helps to evaluate the operational constraints of mass conservation, energy conservation, pressure in nodes (nodal heads) of the network, and velocities of water in network pipes. Epanet is used by the EA-WDND to evaluate whether the looped network is operating properly. Consequently, the EA-WDND obtains feasible configurations of network design. The best configuration, which has the lowest cost and best performance according to defined constraints, is obtained by the EA-WDND. This configuration can be practically implemented in real life. In this paper, a methodology for using Epanet Solver with a parallel evolutionary algorithm is presented.
