A Derivative Free Non-Linear Programming Method for the Optimal Setting of PATs to Be Used in a Hybrid Genetic Algorithm: A Preliminary Work

In recent years, recovering energy while managing excessive pressure in water distribution networks (WDNs) has gradually taken hold through the use of Pumps as Turbines (PATs). Therefore, algorithms commonly used for the optimizations of WDNs require modifications to incorporate these devices. Withi...
