Optimal Model of Hydrodynamic Controlling on Pumps and Slice Gates for Water Quality Improvement

Abstract

In order to evaluate the effective of the hydrodynamic control of pumps and slice gates in plain river network on the water quality improvement, an optimal mathematic model of hydrodynamic controlling on the pumps and slice gates in plain river network was established by combining the water quality objective function and the cost objective function together. The cost function has been set as the main objective function, while the water quality objective function was simplified as the restrained condition for every required water quality index, through which the multi-objective optimization was transferred into a single-objective optimization. Then, this optimal model was solved by coupling the water environmental model with the hybrid genetic algorithm. The case study of Jiaxing river network shows that the proposed hydrodynamic controlling optimal model in this paper can develop the optimal water diversion scheme for water quality improvement and cut its cost. It works better compared to the traditional water quality objective function and can be used in the engineering practice.
