HydroGen: an Artificial Water Distribution Network Generator

Corte, Annelies De; Sörensen, Kenneth - In: Water Resources Management 28 (2014) 2, pp. 333-350

Many (metaheuristic) techniques for water distribution network (WDN) design optimisation already have been developed. Despite of the aforementioned scientific attention, only few, high-quality benchmark networks are available for algorithm testing, which, in turn, hinders profound algorithm...

On Distribution Asset Management: Development of Replacement Strategies

Hampton, Nigel; Hartlein, Rick; Begović, Miroslav; … - 2007

The components of electricity networks are ageing. It is expected that within a horizon of 15 years, the performance will deteriorate significantly, while the costs for operating the networks will increase enormously. The main problem is that a significant part of the population of the assets is...
