stormwater_layout_RTC_opt_tool

The stormwater_layout_RTC_opt_tool provides synergistic optimization tools for practitioners to design stormwater storage systems under the premise of real-time control (RTC).

This tool can generate combined solutions of layout designs (i.e. storage capacity allocation) and control settings (i.e. target flow distribution) for distributed storage tanks.

Code

The main modules were coded in MATLAB, as listed below:

1. Main_pi_Vmax_opt.m to acquire input data and drive the optimization procedure

2. nsga_2.m to solve the optimziaiton problem with objectives of minimizing system flood peaks and runoff volume

3. modify_swmminp_timeseries_temp.m to update the input file with the simulated rainfall events

4. modify_swmminp_Vmax.m to update the input file with different layout schemes during the optimzation procedure

5. Function_peakpredict_flc.m to generate the basic RTC parameter (i.e. target flow) under differnt rainfall events

6. Function_PFL_Qopt.m to execute the dynamic operations with different RTC strategied during the optimzation procedure.

Noted that:

• TVGM-SWMM (https://github.com/jiangziyin/TVGM-SWMM) was used as the stormwater system model, while researchers can choose other models such as the original SWMM.

• MatSWMM (developed by Riano-Briceno et al. in 2016) was used to run the stormwater system model.

Data

• the simulated rainfall input of a case

• the .inp file of SWMM

Running steps

1. download the MatSWMM software and copy the packages and files to \stormwater_layout_RTC_opt_tool\Code

2. prepare a SWMM input file and copy it to \stormwater_layout_RTC_opt_tool\Data

3. prepare the simulated rainfall events data and copy it to \stormwater_layout_RTC_opt_tool\Data

4. run the Main_pi_Vmax_opt.m.m and output the optimization outcomes
