Optimal Pressure Sensor Locations for Leak Detection in a Dutch Water Distribution Network
This paper presents a practical application of a sensitivity matrix-based methodology for determining optimal pressure sensor locations for leak detection in a water distribution network (WDN). The optimization is formulated as multi-objective, exploring the tradeoff between the minimization of the number of sensors to be installed and the maximization of the detection coverage. The methodology is applied to a real-life WDN serving the area of Seppe in the Netherlands. Close collaboration with the water utility enabled us to explore alternative designs, fine-tune the optimization problem and o... Mehr ...

This paper presents a practical application of a sensitivity matrix-based methodology for determining optimal pressure sensor locations for leak detection in a water distribution network (WDN). The optimization is formulated as multi-objective, exploring the tradeoff between the minimization of the number of sensors to be installed and the maximization of the detection coverage. The methodology is applied to a real-life WDN serving the area of Seppe in the Netherlands. Close collaboration with the water utility enabled us to explore alternative designs, fine-tune the optimization problem and obtain results that are ready for practical implementation.
