4. Water Distribution System Analysis Model Steady-State Analysis All water demands and operations are treated as constant over time and a single solution is generated Extended-Period Analysis Variations in water demands, tank water levels, and other operational conditions are simulated by a series of steady-state analyses that are linked together.It introduce some approximations and ignores the transient phenomena resulting from sudden changes Introduction & Background

5. Water Distribution System Analysis Model Water Quality Analysis It predict the temporal and spatial distribution of a variety of constituents within a distribution system, these constituents include: The age of water, chemical compound such as chloride or fluoride etc. Transient Flow Analysis Itsimulates sudden changes of pipelines system’s component,such as pump shut off & speed adjustment,valve suddenly close,etc Introduction & Background

6. Research Aims Construct unified model framework to be reused in developing applications Develop a model integrating transient analysis for simulating water hammer with Extended-Period Analysis to help utility’s operator in water distribution system’s management Introduction & Background

22. Event Model for Pipelines System Event &Event Model Event Prototype: delegate void EventName（Element sender, TransientEventArgs e） TransientEventArgs member: StartTime, Duration, ControlledParameter, ParameterTimeSerial, TransientOption(TimeStep,FrictionFormulation,DefaultWaveSpeed,etc) Event Type： HitTest; Strategy(simple, complex (auto controlling decision made)?) Event Pool：Arraylist or Hashtable ( Task type private member, Task owns a pair register/unregister method, event can be automaticly registered/unregistered to a task )

24. Event Model for Pipelines System Demo: Characteristic profile along selected path

25. Event Model for Pipelines System Demo: Head time series line at selected points

26. Construct unified model framework to be reused in developing applications Encapsulate transient analysis with event model and simplify model architecture Conclusion

27. Small temporal scales and accurate SCADA data can be helpful to evaluate the system’s state, Downscale & SCADA data analysis technique may be useful and important. How to automatic instance an event & trigger it? How to instance a complex strategy type event according to pipelines system’s state & utility’s management strategy? Maybe use optimization algorithms? There maybe another method? Sincerely ask for help! How to integrate Automatic Control Theory in investigating of inverse problem (such as system’s exceptions identity & handling, etc) in pipelines system? Discussion
