Title in Portuguese
Análise de reabilitação de redes de distribuição de água para abastecimento via algoritmos genéticos multiobjetivo
Keywords in Portuguese
Algoritmos genéticos
Análise de reabilitação
Otimização multiobjetivo
Redes de distribuição de água
Abstract in Portuguese
Reconhecendo-se a importância da água como recurso natural limitado e considerando-se a perspectiva de crescimento do contingente populacional urbano, faz-se necessária uma investigação dos sistemas de distribuição de água para abastecimento, por tratarem-se de infra-estruturas básicas comuns aos núcleos populacionais do mundo todo. O planejamento da reabilitação das redes de distribuição de água torna-se de fundamental importância considerando os recursos financeiros limitados e o comportamento operacional desses sistemas que são alterados ao longo do tempo devido ao processo de deterioração de seus componentes. O presente trabalho representa um esforço no sentido de considerar objetivos mais promissores na análise de reabilitação de redes. Dessa maneira, foram considerados: custo, benefício, vazamentos e confiabilidade. Este trabalho apresenta contribuições às análises multiobjetivo via algoritmos genéticos, propriciando um aprimoramento do algoritmo Multiobjective Genetic Algorithm (MOGA) e realizando investigação dos operadores (recombinação e mutação) e dos métodos Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm (NSGA), Strength Pareto Evolutionary Algorithm (SPEA) e Elitist Non-Dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm (NSGA II). Do ponto de vista hidráulico, este trabalho introduz tanto perdas por vazamentos como demanda variável com a pressão, proporcionando uma análise mais realística do problema. Os estudos desenvolvidos para redes hipotéticas e para um sistema real, possibilitaram que soluções satisfatórias fossem obtidas, chegando-se inclusive a uma proposição do conceito de programação dinâmica para o caso multiobjetivo.

Abstract in English
Recognizing the importance of water as a limited natural resource and considering the prospect of continued population growth, it is important to investigate water distribution systems which are common to all urban infrastructures. Planning of the water distribution network rehabilitation becomes additionally important given economic constraints and operational behavior these systems which modifies in time due to deterioration of water networks. The present work is an effort to consider the multiple objectives in the water network rehabilitation analyses. Four objectives were considered: cost minimization, benefit maximization, leakage minimization and reliability maximization. In addition, it presents some contributions to multiobjective optimization methodology by genetic algorithms, offering an improvement of Multiobjective Genetic Algorithm (MOGA). A detailed investigation is conducted on genetic operators (recombination and mutation) comparing some existing multiobjective optimization methods (Multiobjective Genetic Algorithm - MOGA, Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm - NSGA, Strength Pareto Evolutionary Algorithm - SPEA and Elitist Non-Dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm - NSGA II). As regards the hydraulic analysis, this work introduces both leakages and pressure dependent demands in the simulations, providing a more realistic representation of actual field situations. The present study employs hypothetical networks and a real network obtaining satisfactory solutions. Further, dynamic programming concept is also incorporated into the multiobjective optimization framework.
