Abstract

Researchers are recognizing that the robustness evaluation of Water Distribution Networks (WDNs) is of great importance for reducing the impact of disruptive events. Yet, very few methods to measure the robustness of WDNs have been developed. These methods mainly focus on either the topological features or the hydraulic attributes of WDNs and fail to provide a comprehensive picture of the robustness characteristics of WDNs. The work described herein proposes a new robustness index to measure the heterogeneity of WDNs drawing on informational entropy theory. The paper attempts to shift away from an exclusive topological viewpoint or a pure hydraulic approach, towards a combined topological and hydraulic analysis. The main emphasis is on the influence of an individual node on the overall network performance. The use of the proposed index is illustrated with a real-world WDN of an Australian town. The results highlight the significance of integrating the topological and hydraulic metrics for a reliable assessment of robustness in WDNs.
基于拓扑和水力属性的配水网络鲁棒性分析
研究人员认识到供水网络的稳健性评估对于减少破坏性事件的影响具有重要意义。然而,很少有测量wdn鲁棒性的方法被开发出来。这些方法主要关注wdn的拓扑特征或水力属性,无法全面描述wdn的鲁棒性特征。本文提出了一种新的鲁棒性指标,利用信息熵理论来衡量wdn的异质性。本文试图从排他的拓扑观点或纯水力方法转向拓扑和水力分析的结合。主要强调的是单个节点对整体网络性能的影响。本文以一个真实世界的澳大利亚城镇WDN为例说明了该索引的使用。结果强调了整合拓扑和水力指标对wdn鲁棒性可靠评估的重要性。
