Abstract

The electricity cost of pumping system accounts for a large part of the total operating cost for long distance water supply networks. This study presents a method based on dynamic programming for establishing an joint optimal operation of pumps and storages system on a hourly basis. Analysis is taken of the relative efficiencies of the available pumps, the structure of the electricity tariff, the consumer-demand pattern, and the storage characteristics and operational constraints of the pipe. The possible system objectives and constraints are described. An application of the method to the existing Yangju Water Supply System consisted of two pump station and 5 storage pools under the condition of expanding pumping facility in the part of the Capital Area Water Supply System is presented, showing that considerable electricity cost savings are remarkable. The approach was found to be implementable in real system operation and large-scale water supply system design in respect of minimizing life-cycle total cost.

장거리 용수공급 시스템에서 전력비용은 전체 운영비용의 큰 부분을 차지한다. 본 연구는 시간단위의 펌프와 배수지 시스템의 최적 운영계획을 평가하기 위해 동적계획기법에 기초한 방법론을 제시하고 있다. 해석방법은 운영비용 최소화 관점에서 펌프용량 확대를 전제로 현재 가용 펌프의 효율적 운전과 전력요금체계, 시간별 용수수요 추이 그리고 배수지 특성과 송수관로의 제약조건 등을 고려하였다. 이를 위해 적용 가능한 시스템 운영목적과 제약조건이 제시되었고 개발된 방법은 수도권 광역상수도 양주계통의 2개 가압장과 5개 배수지를 대상으로 적용하였다. 적용결과는 펌프 확장의 경우 상당한 수준의 운전비용을 절감할 수 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 이와 같은 방법은 기존 시스템의 최적운영은 물론 생애주기 비용 최소화 측면에서 신규 용수공급 체계의 설계 등에 적절히 활용될 수 있다.
