Abstract
Design of modern water supply systems of large cities as well as their management via renovation of hydraulic models poses time-consuming tasks to researchers, and coping with this task requires specific approaches. When tackling these tasks, water services companies come across a lot of information about various objects of water infrastructure, the majority of which is located underground. In those cases, modern computer-aided design systems containing various components come to help. These systems help to solve a wide array of problems using existing information regarding pipelines, analysis and optimization of their basic parameters. CAD software is becoming an integral part of water supply systems management in large cities, and its capabilities allow engineering and operating companies to not only collect all the necessary data concerning water supply systems in any given city, but also to conduct research aimed at improving various parameters of these systems, including optimization of their hydraulic properties which directly determine the quality of water. This paper contains the analysis of automated CAD software for hydraulic design and management of city water supply systems in order to provide safe and efficient operation of these water supply systems. Authors select the most suitable software that might be used to provide hydraulic compatibility of old and new sections of water supply ring mains after selective or continuous draw-in renovation and decrease in diameter of distribution networks against the background of water consumption decrease in the cities.
Highlights
Reliable and efficient performance of modern water supply systems of large cities and management of power flow in extensive and long pipelines requires specific approaches based on the wide use of models [1]
The capacities of this software allow operating companies to collect all relevant data regarding water supply systems, and to conduct research aimed at improving certain parameters of these systems, including optimization of hydraulic features of pipelines, a key factor that determines the quality of water [5, 6]
The results of the analysis show that MIKE URBAN software gives an opportunity to handle a wide array of tasks, including the analysis and management of water supply systems in large cities
Summary
Reliable and efficient performance of modern water supply systems of large cities and management of power flow in extensive and long pipelines requires specific approaches based on the wide use of models [1]. In these cases, special modern automated CAD systems with various subsystems, which help to solve a wide array of tasks, including systematization, evaluation, analysis and optimization of the most important parameters of any given city’s water supply system, are of great help [3].
