      Accés restringit per política de l'editorial
      Data in water companies have been collected since sensors (level, pressure, flow, Temperature, chlorine concentration, etc.) have been gradually introduced. Supervision and control of processes were the first drivers of ...
    • Leak detection in a DMA, a real application of flow modelling 

      Jiménez, Víctor; Grau Torrent, Sergi; Pérez Magrané, Ramon (2017)
      Text en actes de congrés
      Accés obert
      This paper presents a versatile methodology to calculate parameters that characterise the demand of a DMA. This parameters are used for the leak modelling so that a predictive model is built and trained with historical ...

      Article
      Accés obert
      This paper presents a model, based on potential curves, that describes the behaviour of the inverse of the daily cumulated frequency of the flows provided to a District Metered Area (DMA). The model has two terms, the first ...
