Abstract

In order to minimize the impact of water hammer In a pipeline, a determination of optimum position of hydraulic structures with best operation of pressure relief valve was explored at the Seobyun pumping station. Method of characteristics is used to simulate a surge impact originating from abrupt stop of pumping operation in a pipeline. Genetic algorithm shows a powerful capability in searching a global solution, especially for a nonlinear problem The application results suggests that the maximum positive pressure can be relaxed by decreasing the opening time of pressure relief valve, meanwhile the maximum negative pressure can be relaxed by increasing the opening time of pressure relief valve. This study shows that the integration of a genetic algorithm with a transient analysis technique such as method of characteristic can improve the design of hydraulic structure in a pipe network.

본 연구에서는 대구광역시에 위치하고 있는 서변 펌프가압장에서 발생되는 수격압을 최소화하기 위해 사용되는 감압밸브와 공기밸브의 최적 위치결정과 감압밸브의 최적 열림정도를 도모하였다. 가압장에서 발생하는 펌프의 급정지에 기인한 수격현상은 특성선방법을 이용하여 모의를 하였다. 최적화 방법은 강력한 탐색능력을 가지고 있으며 특히 비선형 문제를 해결하는데 탁월한 성능을 가지고 있는 유전자 알고리즘을 이용하여 실시하였다. 유전자 알고리즘의 계산결과는 감압밸브의 열림시간을 적게 할수록 최고 압력수두의 완화에 효과적이고, 열림시간을 크게 할수록 최대부압의 완화에 효과적임을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구는 특성선방법을 기반으로 하는 관망부속물들의 해석이 유전자 알고리즘과 결합되어 관로내 관로부속물의 최적설계에 도움을 줄 수 있음을 보여준다.
