Zusammenfassung
The paper presents a method of water distribution system sensors placement. Location of sensors
depends on the purpose of monitoring of a network. In this paper, this objective has been defined
as the ability to detect network failures (leakages). Therefore, the location of monitoring points
should be designed so as to maximize the effectiveness of the location method. The main objective
of the algorithm deployment of sensors is to find a placement that minimizes the number of
components for the largest collection of leakages (faults) with the same signature. The simplest
way of determining the best sensors placement is to use an exhaustive search method. However,
even a slight increase in the number of possible sensors locations makes exhaustive search very
inefficient. Therefore, the selection of sensors placement was performed by optimization using
evolutionary genetic algorithm. The computations were performed on the example of the water
supply network in Glubczyce town in Poland.
