Computer Studies for Distribution Design and Operation: Joint Discussion

Abstract

This joint discussion first offers a paper by Gordon Gracie titled “Analysis of Distribution Demand Variations,” that documents a study of the daily demand variability for the water distribution systems of Champaign‐Urbana, Illinois, Belmont high‐service district, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and Denver, Colorado. The second paper by Murray B. McPherson and Ramanand Prasad titled “Power Consumption for Equalizing‐Storage Operating Options” discusses the maximum exploitation of equalizing storage, resulting in more uniform pumping rates with fewer units.
