A New Perspective to Design Phase of Water Supply Systems from Aspect of Water Demand Using Fuzzy Automation

Abstract

This paper aims to reduce the setup cost of water supply systems (SCWSS) by decreasing the peak values at water consumptions Water supply system (WSS) is designed by paying attention to worst scenario. It means that a WSS must supply water demanded to people at each scenario. Therefore, there is waste some part of volume needed for transporting water to certain regions that isn’t utilized all the time. The use of water should be manipulated as desired. If the peak values of water demand occurred at a specific time can be dispersed to whole day, then SCWSS can be reduced due to diminished maximum discharge capacity needed as well. Lately researchers have done so many things on water tank by using fuzzy logic but not considering stabilization of fluctuations at water demands. In this paper, a new intelligent valve (NIV) which aims to reduce the SCWSS is developed for stabilizing the demand of water occurred all day long by using fuzzy logic automation. The NIV can get stabilize water use for a region by optimizing discharge of water to water tank. The paper introduces a new perspective to design phase by focusing water demand change and trend.
