1 New Perspective of Distribution Network Monitoring and Control in Lisbon Andrew Donnelly Nuno Dias Ricardo Guimarães António Bento Franco

2 Project Context Monitoring and Modelling EPAL s distribution network serves the following purposes: Network Condition Water Loss reduction and improved Efficiency Network Network Condition and performance assessment Condition Water Quality and Customer Satisfaction Monitoring Modelling Monitoring Modelling Quality Customer Satisfaction Water Loss Quality Efficiency Customer Satisfection Water Loss Efficiency

3 DMA District Meter Area Implementation Improved network knowledge leading to Non-Revenue Water Reduction 1) DMA planning and set up: create monitoring points; meters at DMA entry/exits; boundary valve identification and lock-in; real-time pressure monitoring at critical points; DMA validation through Pressure Zero Test. 2) continuous DMA monitoring: telemetry at DMA entry/exits and large consumers: - pressure and flow every 15 minutes; - passive system with active alarms. ) D i i d l i ) Data integration and analysis: IT development; performance indicators and DMA ranking; water balance: real and apparent losses.

5 Data Management Systems Telemetry Automatic meter reading GIS (G/Interaqua) Client billing system (Aquamatrix) SCADA Integration, Monitoring and Control - Essential tool for Active Leakage Control and operation; - Net daily total volume and minimum night flow; - Dynamic system for network performance analysis; - Real-time pressure and flow alarms; - Easily accessible, transversal data interface. - Statistical tendency analysis with graphic presentation.

6 Non-Revenue Water Calculation Top-Down Approach Minimum Night Flow Used Volume Minimum Night Flow = Authorised Night Flow + Real Losses - Potential Problems Identification Billed Volume Authorised Flow = Total Losses Large Clients Telemetry = Apparent Losses + Real Losses Retrievable Real Losses = Real Losses Unavoidable Real Authorised Flow Losses - Min Night Flow Authorised Night Flow = F domestic + F non-domestic Total Real Losses = unrecoverable + unavoidable Bottom-Up Approach Objective: Use both approaches to identify and reduce Recoverable Real Losses

7 DMA Planning and Network Operations Support The combination of Monitoring and Modelling have the potential to enhance network management: DMA planning and optimisation; Pressure management and reduction potential; Network development; 80 sizing and impact analysis of network expansion; 260 Operational analysis of emergency situations 670and energy optimisation. 60 Pressão no Ponto Critico da ZMC da Zona Superior DMA Critical Point Pressure DMA Actual Impactos Pressure Reais Predicted Impactos Ponto Critical sobre Impact as Pressões Simulados Pressure 54 Impact sobre as Crítico ZMC Point (m(m) c.a.)
