Representations and Evolutionary Operators for the Scheduling of Pump Operations in Water Distribution Networks (2011)
Journal Article
Lopez-Ibanez, M., Prasad, T. D., & Paechter, B. (2011). Representations and Evolutionary Operators for the Scheduling of Pump Operations in Water Distribution Networks. Evolutionary Computation, 19(3), 429-467. https://doi.org/10.1162/EVCO_a_00035

Reducing the energy consumption of water distribution networks has never had more significance. The greatest energy savings can be obtained by carefully scheduling the operations of pumps. Schedules can be defined either implicitly, in terms of other... Read More about Representations and Evolutionary Operators for the Scheduling of Pump Operations in Water Distribution Networks.
