Abstract

The general optimization design models were aimed at the minimum cost of the gravity distribution network omitted other fees impacts on the system building operation cost and could not ensure the design scheme satisfies the running effect. The objective function in this chapter is based on the gravity water head utilization rate produced by the fall of the head position degree, with two different expressions namely utilization rate of pipe gravity head and utilization rate of path gravity head as network optimization objective functions. Model solution method is with line-up competition algorithm (LCA) between families and inside a family. Compared with the solution method of genetic algorithm aimed at the minimum investment cost, the result showed that the method can obtain the optimal solution and have higher search efficiency.
