A new Digital Harmony Search algorithm for optimizing Pump Scheduling in Water Distribution Networks

Pumps in Water Distribution Networks (WDNs) adequately provide effective pressure where low elevation or high head losses are detected within the system. One of the most effective strategies to ensure economic sustainability is Pump Scheduling (PS), assuring the optimization of pump management and e...
