Description du projet
Des outils innovants pour des réseaux de distribution d’eau efficaces et résilients
Les réseaux de distribution d’eau (RDE) sont essentiels pour la société, mais posent de considérables défis. Soutenu par le programme Actions Marie Skłodowska-Curie (MSCA), le projet WATER-RENEQ entend relever ces défis en proposant une approche innovante de mesure et d’amélioration de la résilience, de l’équité et de l’efficacité énergétique des RDE. Le projet développera un outil informatique conçu pour des applications concrètes. Il s’est notamment fixé pour objectifs d’établir des indicateurs quantifiables et des indices de performance pour évaluer les opérations des RDE, d’améliorer l’efficacité des calculs en réduisant les variables discrètes et d’optimiser l’espace de recherche des algorithmes d’optimisation. Le projet concevra également un outil d’optimisation des recommandation de stratégies d’investissement pour les RDE, visant à maximiser la résilience et les indicateurs d’équité à travers le réseau.
Objectif
The proposal focuses on addressing critical challenges in water distribution networks (WDN), recognizing its fundamental role as an essential service for society. The WATER-RENEQ approach is a comprehensive methodology that optimizes WDNs by ensuring their response capacity to adverse events (resilience), guaranteeing equity for all users, and maximizing energy savings.
The first objective (O1) aims to establish a set of quantifiable indicators and performance indices that measure the operation of WDNs. These indicators will encompass key aspects of resilience and equity while focusing on energy efficiency as a quantifiable metric. Objective two (O2) focuses on the development of an innovative mathematical model. This optimization model will calculate the indices defined in O1 within a WDN. It will provide a practical methodology to evaluate and analyze WDN resilience, addressing both operational aspects and overall system performance. The third objective (O3) targets advancements in the computational efficiency of optimization algorithms. This involves reducing the number of discrete variables and optimizing the overall search space. Improving computational efficiency is crucial for solving complex real-world optimization problems effectively. Objective four (O4) involves the development of an optimization tool that proposes investment strategies for WDNs. The tool's primary goal is to maximize resilience and equity indicators within the network, even when budget constraints are present. This approach aims to provide a robust mathematical framework that considers resilience and equity criteria.
In summary, the proposal addresses fundamental challenges facing WDN by introducing an innovative approach to measure and improve resilience, equity, and energy efficiency, developing a computational tool that can be applied to real-world scenarios. Once the tool will be validated in a benchmarking network, this will be applied on a real WDN in a wáter supply company.
