SIMULATION OF CONTROL STRATEGIES IN WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS, USING SCADA IN CONJUNCTION WITH CALIBRATED MODELS OBTAINED FROM GIS

摘要

In this paper, a general approach is presented to exploit hydraulic models in the daily operation of water supply networks, by integrating them with SCADA and GIS systems. The process of building a model of the network by means of a GIS extension is briefly discussed first. Then its exploitation in a SCADA system is presented by means of an application that offers the possibility to simulate control strategies both in the current and past situations. This application can be used as an assisting tool for the daily network operation, as well as for operator training purposes.
