Network Simplification
Why use simplification?
• Produce hydraulically equivalent water networks with
reduced number of pipes and nodes only containing
• critical nodes (nodes with pressure constraints)
• active elements (e.g. pumps, valves, reservoirs, tanks)
• Use reduced water networks as base for following
simulation and optimization
• Reduce calculation time by reducing number of
equations and constraints
