Optimum Design of Sewer Systems by using Differential Evolution Algorithm

Öz

In this study, a solution approach which is based on the differential evolution (DE) algorithm is developed for optimum design of sewer systems. In the developed approach, the slope of each pipe is used as the decision variable of the optimization model and the diameters are selected from the available diameters in market for minimizing the total system cost. All the physical and managerial constraints to be satisfied during the optimization process is included to the model by using the penalty function approach. The performance of the proposed approach is tested on two example systems and the similar or better results are obtained compared to the obtained results given in literature.

Kanalizasyon Sistemlerinin Diferansiyel Evrim Algoritması Kullanılarak Optimum Tasarımı

Öz

Bu çalışmada kanalizasyon sistemlerinin optimum tasarımının yapılabildiği diferansiyel evrim (DE) algoritmasına dayanan bir çözüm yaklaşımı geliştirilmiştir. Geliştirilen yaklaşımda her bir boruya ait eğim değeri optimizasyon modelinde karar değişkeni olarak kullanılmakta ve bu değerler için toplam sistem maliyeti minimize edilecek şekilde belirlenen piyasa çapları içerisinden boru çapları seçilmektedir. Optimizasyon işlemi esnasında sağlanması gereken fiziksel ve yönetimsel kısıtların tümü penaltı fonksiyonu yaklaşımı kullanılarak optimizasyon modeline dahil edilmiştir. Geliştirilen yaklaşımın performansı iki örnek sistem üzerinde test edilmiş ve literatürde verilenlere benzer veya daha iyi sonuçlar elde edilmiştir.
