A Cascade-Based Emergency Model for Water Distribution Network

الملخص EN

Water distribution network is important in the critical physical infrastructure systems.

The paper studies the emergency resource strategies on water distribution network with the approach of complex network and cascading failures.

The model of cascade-based emergency for water distribution network is built.

The cascade-based model considers the network topology analysis and hydraulic analysis to provide a more realistic result.

A load redistribution function with emergency recovery mechanisms is established.

From the aspects of uniform distribution, node betweenness, and node pressure, six recovery strategies are given to reflect the network topology and the failure information, respectively.

The recovery strategies are evaluated with the complex network indicators to describe the failure scale and failure velocity.

The proposed method is applied by an illustrative example.

The results showed that the recovery strategy considering the node pressure can enhance the network robustness effectively.

Besides, this strategy can reduce the failure nodes and generate the least failure nodes per time.
