Abstract

Abnormal condition inevitably occurs during operation of water distribution system (WDS) and requires the isolation of certain areas using isolation valves. In general, the determination of the optimal location of isolation valves considered minimization of hydraulic failures as isolation of certain areas causes a change in hydraulic states (e.g., flow direction, velocity, pressure, etc.). Water quality failure can also be induced by changes in hydraulics, which have not been considered for isolation valve system design. Therefore, this study proposes a new isolation valve system design methodology to prevent unexpected water quality failure events. The new methodology considers flow direction change ratio (FDCR), which accounts for flow direction changes after isolation of the area, as a constraint while reliability is used as the objective function. The optimal design model has been applied to a synthetic grid network and the results are compared with the traditional design approach. Results show that considering FDCR can eliminate flow direction changes while average pressure and coefficient of variation of pressure, velocity, and hydraulic geodesic index (HGI) outperform compared to the traditional design approach. The proposed methodology is expected to be a useful approach to minimizing unexpected consequences by traditional design approaches.

상수도 관망 운영 단계에서 비정상상황은 필연적으로 발생하며, 이때 밸브를 이용한 구역의 격리가 필요하다. 밸브를 이용한 구역 격리 시 흐름 경로와 유향, 유속의 변화와 같은 수리적 변화로 인해 수리적 피해는 불가피하며, 대부분의 기존 연구들은 수리적 피해를 최소화할 수 있도록 밸브의 위치를 결정하여 왔다. 다만, 수리적 변화는 예지치 못한 수질 사고를 유발할 수 있기에, 격리 시 수질 사고 발생 여부를 미리 판단할 필요가 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 밸브 위치에 따른 예지치 못한 수질 문제를 예방할 수 있는 밸브 설계 방안을 제안한다. 이를 위한 격리 전후의 관로별 흐름 특성 변화율을 정량화하는 유향 변경률 인자(Flow Direction Change Ratio, FDCR)와 신뢰도(reliability)를 고려한 최적 설계 방법론을 제안하였으며, 해당 모형을 가상 상수도 관망에 적용하여 FDCR 고려 유무에 따른 설계안을 비교하였다. 설계 결과 FDCR을 고려한 경우 기존 설계안 대비 유향 변동이 없는 것을 확인하였으며, 세그먼트 격리에 따른 절점별 압력과 관별 유속의 평균과 변동성을 확인한 결과 기존 설계안 대비 우수한 성능을 나타냄을 확인하였다. 또한 설계안 비교를 위해 그래프 이론 기반 인자인 수리학적 거리 인자(Hydrualic Geodesic Index, HGI)를 활용하였으며, HGI가 높은 설계안이 유향 변동성이 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 향후 수질 사고를 고려한 밸브 시스템의 설계 및 운영에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.
