Battle of Water Network II


The Battle of the Water Networks II (BWN-II) is the competition held at the 14th Water Distribution Systems Analysis Conference. In order to facilitate the solution verification, BWN-FIT is created to conduct feasibility test of the BWN-II solutions and distributed free of charge for research purpose only.

 BWN-FIT FUNCTIONS

The solution evaluation tool does the following:

  1. Check the feasibility (nodal pressures and final tank levels) of the BWN solution for normal operation condition over 168 hours.
  2. Check the feasibility (nodal pressures) of the solution for power outage conditions as specified for BWN-II problem, namely performing 2-hour simulation at each hour of 168 hours with the pumps that are connected with diesel generators only.
  3. Compute the cost of diesel generators connected to pumps.
  4. Compute annual pumping cost, annual pumping GHG and the normalized water age (WAnet).
