Application of Leakage Localization Framework for Water Networks with Multiple Inlets in Smart Water Infrastructures Laboratory at AAU

In this paper we extend the work presented in Rathore et al. (2021) to leakage localization in water distribution networks with multiple inlets. A self-adaptive reduced order model is used to estimate network pressures under nominal condition. These estimated pressures are compared to the measured network pressure to generate pressure residuals. Further, the pressure residuals are compared to expected residual signatures for leakage localization. For the reduced order model to be valid for water distribution network with multiple inlets, a control requirement is to be placed on the network. In this paper we also present the test results from a laboratory setup, which is present at Aalborg University, Denmark, to demonstrate the localization framework.
