A simulated annealing model for long range water supply planning

A mathematical model for long-range water supply planning was formulated as a dynamic plant location problem with network arc capacity expansion, and an illustrative example was presented. The proposed solution procedure identifies economical construction timings of surface water supply facilities and water conveyence systems and the best water supply operating patterns as well. In this study, the authors present a heuristic solution procedure using Simulated Annealing Method in conjunction with Bertsekas & Tseng’s RELAXT-II for the 0-1 integer network problem. [In Korean.]
