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..

The optimisation of pump operations in water distribution networks is an ongoing research topic motivated by the great energy savings that a careful scheduling of pumps may achieve. State-of-the-art approaches often combine an optimisation algorithm,... Read More about Parallel Optimisation of Pump Schedules with a Thread-Safe Variant of EPANET Toolkit.
