本文概述了一种新的供水和配电系统调度和控制方法。与传统方法不同，新方法基于通用模拟器和网络模型。这些模型模拟了复杂、交互式、非线性的水网水力和成本性能。模拟器通过数据库与在线管理系统相连，以便网络模型保持最新。在总体控制方法中，模拟器用于不同的功能任务，其中一个是优化调度程序。优化调度器为复杂网络提供实用的液压控制，并节省运营成本。它被开发并应用于英国的一个大型城市配电系统。 结果表明，液压控制可以在瞬态运行环境中实现，显著节省运行成本。包括10个参考文献、表格和图表。

This article outlines a new scheduling and control methodology for water supply and distribution systems. Unlike traditional methodologies, the new approach is based on a general-purpose simulator and network model. These simulate the complex, interactive, nonlinear hydraulic and cost performance of water networks. The simulator is linked to the on-line management system via a database so that network models are kept up to date. Within the overall control methodology, the simulator is used by different functional tasks, one being an optimizing scheduler. The optimizing scheduler provides practical hydraulic control of complex networks and generates savings in operating costs. It was developed and applied to a large urban distribution system in the United Kingdom. Results show that hydraulic control can be achieved in a transient operations environment, with significant savings in operating costs. Includes 10 references, table, figures.
