Clustering strategies are becoming increasingly relevant to boost the scalability of
distributed control methods by focusing the cooperation efforts on highly coupled agents …

While only a minimal fraction of global water resources is accessible for drinking water
production, their uneven distribution combined with the climate crisis impacts leads to …

Water utilities face a challenge in maintaining a good quality of service under a wide range
of operational management and failure conditions. Tools for assessing the resilience of …

Abstract Water Distribution Networks (WDNs) are becoming an attractive area of application
for small hydropower, which can contribute to the development of distributed energy …

This paper proposes a new methodology for the optimal design of water network
sectorization, which is an essential technique for improving the management and security of …

Water distribution systems (WDSs) today are expected to continuously provide clean water
while meeting users demand, and pressure requirements. To accomplish these targets is not …

Current and future smart cities are moving towards the zero-net energy use concept. To this
end, the built environment should also be designed for efficient energy use and play a …

The core idea behind sectorization of Water Supply Networks (WSNs) is to establish areas
partially isolated from the rest of the network to improve operational control. Besides the …

A proper division of a Water Distribution System (WDS) into District Metered Areas (DMAs)
provides important management benefits particularly with regard to leakage detection …

A novel methodology to sectorize water supply networks (WSNs) depending on a main
transmission line is presented in this paper. The methodology is based on concepts derived …
