Abstract

En 中文
The partitioning of a water distribution network into several district-metered areas (DMAs) yields is of great benefits for the management of water distribution systems, including enhanced leak control, pollution monitoring, and pressure optimization. However, achieving an effective partitioning that simultaneously incorporates node characteristics and network connections is challenging. Previous studies have tackled water network partitioning by focusing on either node features or pipe connections individually. In response to the limitations of current approaches for water distribution network partitioning, this study introduces an innovative unsupervised clustering approach for node partitioning based on graph convolutional network (GCN) techniques. Initially, the network nodes are clustered using the Cross-Attention Fusion Based Enhanced Graph Convolutional Network (CaEGCN) deep clustering algorithm, considering both the network's topological layout and hydraulic properties. The resulting clusters categorize the network nodes into distinct regions. We evaluate our approach and other methods through areal world water distribution network using five different metrics commonly used to evaluate applied in assessing water supply network zoning issues. By comparing and analyzing the performance of experiments with other schemes, the experimental results demonstrate that the CaEGCN deep clustering method featured a remarkable performance. The proposed method showcases its potential for practical application by offering a dependable and easily interpretable water network partitioning solution.
