Otimização de redes malhadas abastecidas com múltiplos reservatórios, bombas e boosters através da programação não linear.

Abstract

This work is the result of more a research, in the place of optimization in mailed nets of water distribution in that to do the application and necessary adaptations to the studied case, of methodology that uses programming techniques no linear, devoloped for the design of mailed nets supplied by a reservoir. The adaptations to the methodology are accomplished tends in view to be this research accomplished In a supplied net by multiple sources, in other words, multiple reservoirs, bombs and boosters, what was not considered in the initial methodology. To accomplish the optimization, the algorithm GRG2 was applied, based on the technique of the Widespread Gradients. The found results reached the design objective the net, obeyed the imposed hydraulic restrictions, with the obtaining of the minimum cost, without obtaining the transformation of the mailed net in a ramified net.
