Description

This repository contains the pseudocodes of four approaches aiming at efficiency improvements for pipe resizing and topology optimization of real-world water distribution networks, as proposed in:

“Efficient Resizing and Topological Optimization of Real-World Water Distribution Networks in a Multi Criteria Decision-Making Framework”

Overview:

The framework optimizes the topology and pipe diameters of real world WDNs through four approaches, where the main modules are NSGA-II, Objective, Topology and Demand Edge Betweenness Centrality Design Functions.

The approaches are different in terms of search space reductions and surrogate modelling techniques.

Outputs:

Pareto front solutions with different qualities and speed of generation.
