Development of Methods for Diagnosing the Operating Conditions of Water Supply Networks over the Last Two Decades

Abstract

The need for water supply companies to exercise control over the operating conditions of water supply networks has contributed to the development of a number of methods for their diagnosis. The diagnostics of technical infrastructure is a constantly developing field, and therefore, over the years, we have observed the development of various methods of diagnosing network operating conditions and their classification. The article presents, in a synthetic way, the division and review of the previously used methods of diagnosing the operating conditions of water supply networks. The authors also classified and assessed the usefulness of the methods of diagnosis in specific operating conditions. The review carried out by the authors shows that there is a need for research on the detection of operating conditions of water supply networks under the operating conditions of real systems. The results of our deep analysis allow for the understanding of the most important areas of research, as well as the existing worldwide trends in the development of methods for leak diagnosis and detection in water distribution networks. This review is a compendium of knowledge on the detection and diagnosis of water supply networks.

Liquid-filled pipeline leak detection and localization based on multi-scale residual networks

“…The liquid-filled pipelines were prone to leakage in the real situation, which in turn led to serious environmental pollution and resource waste. For this reason, scholars have proposed many leak detection and location prediction methods, mainly divided into model-driven and data-driven [1,2]. Among them, model-driven pipeline leak detection and location methods depend on complete and accurate previous information of the target pipeline system and have certain application * Author to whom any correspondence should be addressed.…”

The Development of a Data-Based Leakage Pinpoint Detection Technique for Water Distribution Systems

“…In addition to monitoring and solutions for the field exploration of leakages, there are various ways to improve the system's efficiency, such as pressure management strategies for the replacement of old pipelines, an improvement in the system's elasticity, and the use of leak detection sensors. It is difficult to obtain accurate system state estimation information only through the real-time monitoring of the water distribution system, and the analysis and interpretation of measurement data are more important factors for improving it [4]. In conclusion, for quick detection and identification after leakage, analyzing data in real time is effective for minimizing labor and leak detection time [5].…”

Intelligent System of Optimum Control of Water Supply Engineering Network Operation at Random Failures

“…Ранее вопросы в области водоснабжения, освещенные в работах [1][2][3][4][5], в сновном предполагали решения по обеспечению рационального управления водой и подводящей сети в области регулирования расхода и давления, подбора диаметров трубопроводов, оптимизации работы насосов, а также обнаружение аномалий и нештатных ситуаций в инженерной сети. Проблеме своевременной диагностики и замены оборудования водоснабжения уделялось меньше внимания, поэтому в работе предлагается минимизировать затраты путем введения в систему ЖКТ методики расчета оптимального срока замены и обслуживания технологического оборудования при случайных отказах.…”
