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.
