Robust multi-objective optimization of water distribution networks

Abstract:

This work studies the incorporation of robustness to changes in water demand within the evolutionary search in order to enhance the design optimization of water distribution networks. An unconstrained multiobjective formulation of the problem is used together with the AεSεH algorithm, a multi- and many-objective evolutionary algorithm known to scale up well with larger population sizes and number of objectives. An effective incorporation of robustness within the evolutionary process will open the possibility to incorporate additional important objectives of water distribution networks that can be optimized simultaneously.
