Optimal energy management of water networks under quality conditions

International Transactions in Operational Research, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 926-951, March 2026.
Abstract In the context of sustainability, which has become fundamental today, we aim to optimize (reduce) the energy consumption due to the use of pumps that bring water from all the different reservoirs to the nodes of the distribution network. The proposed model allows us, thanks to the use of smart meters and new 5G technologies, to determine the ...
