    This paper offers a novel approach for computing globally optimal solutions to the pump scheduling problem in drinking water distribution networks. A tight integer linear relaxation of the original non-convex formulation is devised and solved by branch and bound where integer nodes are investigated through non-linear programming to check the satisfaction of the non-convex constraints … Read more

    This study investigates a pump scheduling problem for the collection, transfer and storage of water in water supply systems in urban networks. The objective of this study is to determine a method to minimize the electricity costs associated with pumping operations. To address the dynamic and random nature of water demand, we propose a two-stage … Read more
