Description

  The present invention relates to a method for evaluating the hydraulic importance of pipes, and relates to a technique for performing an evaluation to identify hydraulically important water pipes from a water pipe network using an evaluation index. By accurately extracting high-quality pipelines, it is useful for “scientific-based plans” necessary for water pipeline renewal planning.

  Conventionally, a large-scale water supply facility, particularly a water pipe network in an urban area, has become complicated, and it is difficult to stably supply water to the entire pipe network. For this reason, in the water supply business authorities, as a daily work, investigate the cause of water pressure fluctuation in each region, investigate whether the pipes and valve devices arranged in the pipe network are functioning effectively, Judgment is made on the hydraulic importance of each pipeline, and is used as a document when planning to develop water pipelines.

  As a method of evaluating the hydraulic importance of each pipeline in a water pipe network, etc., as shown in FIG. 2, “flow rate ratio” and “average pressure change” are obtained as indicators based on hydraulic analysis. There are things that ask for "important base route".

  As shown in FIG. 3, the “flow rate ratio” is an index representing the ratio of the flow rate of each evaluation target pipe to the total water supply amount in the pipe network. Is evaluated as a high pipeline.

  As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the “average pressure change amount” is an index representing the pressure fluctuation of the entire pipe network when a failure (water cutoff) occurs in the evaluation target pipe line. It is evaluated that the pipe is higher in hydraulic importance as it is larger, and the backup pipe in the case where a failure occurs in the evaluation target pipe is grasped. This average pressure change will be described in detail later.

  As shown in Fig. 6 and Fig. 7, "Important base route" searches the water distribution route from the distribution reservoir to the important base such as the hospital / disaster location from the hydraulic evaluation items such as flow rate and number of passages. This method is used to grasp the supply pipelines to important facilities.

  Next, the average pressure change amount will be described in detail. The average pressure change amount assumes a state in which one analysis target pipe line is closed or extracted (hereinafter referred to as “closed”) from a plurality of pipe lines constituting the pipe network. This is an index for calculating the importance of each pipeline by conducting a hydraulic analysis.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a pipe network model is set with distribution reservoirs (water sources) that constitute the constituent elements of the pipe network, a plurality of pipes k1 to k5, and nodes s1 to s4 that connect the start and end points of each pipe. In the pipe network model shown in FIG. 1, hydraulic analysis is performed in a state in which no pipeline is closed, that is, “non-closed”, and the non-closed effective water heads at the water sources and nodes s1 to s4 are obtained. Further, each of the pipelines k1 to k5 is closed one by one and the hydraulic analysis is repeatedly performed, and the effective head at the time of closing is obtained for each state in which the pipelines k1 to k5 are closed. This hydraulic analysis is a known technique and will not be described in detail.

  Next, an average pressure change amount is obtained by the following formula based on the obtained non-closed effective water head and the closed effective water head.

具体的な例として、管路ｋ３における平均圧力変化量を求める場合について説明する。

As a specific example, the case of obtaining the average pressure change amount in the pipe line k3 will be described.

表１は水源および各節点ｓ１〜ｓ４における非閉止時有効水頭、および管路ｋ３を閉止した時のｋ３閉止時有効水頭の各値を示すものである。

Table 1 shows the values of the water source and the effective head when not closed at each of the nodes s1 to s4, and the effective head when k3 is closed when the pipe k3 is closed.

  When this value is applied to the above-described equation 1, the average pressure change amount is represented by the following equation.

同様にして、各管路ｋ１〜ｋ５における平均圧力変化量を求め、この値を指標として各管路の水理的重要度を評価する。

Similarly, the average pressure change amount in each of the pipelines k1 to k5 is obtained, and the hydraulic importance of each pipeline is evaluated using this value as an index.

Prior art documents relating to this type of technology include the following.
JP-A-6-274576 Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 7-133898 JP-A-8-302759 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-259114 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-259158

  However, in the above-described conventional method, the average pressure change amount is only indicated by a value using an absolute amount of the change in the effective head at the time of non-closing and at the time of closing. In this average pressure change amount, it is evaluated that the higher the volume, the higher the hydraulic importance, and the amount of water taken out (used amount) at each node is not taken into consideration.

  For example, a pipeline in which the effective head changes from 30 m to 25 m and a pipeline in which the effective head changes from 15 m to 10 m have the same evaluation value of 5 m when evaluated by the average pressure change amount. However, the actual effect of the pressure change on the amount of water taken out at each node is larger when the effective water head is changed from 15 m to 10 m and the average pressure change is the same. There is a problem in actual operation.

  The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems, and the weight of the importance is weighted by the amount of water taken out at each node, so that the importance of the pipe can be more practically evaluated. The purpose is to provide a method for evaluating the degree of importance.

In order to solve the above problems, the hydraulic importance evaluation method for pipes according to the present invention comprises a water source, nodes, nodes, and pipes connecting the nodes and water sources that constitute the pipe network. In the pipe network model, the nodal pressure change rate resulting from the closure of the evaluation target pipe is obtained, and the higher the nodal pressure change rate, the greater the hydraulic importance of the evaluation target pipe.
The rate of change in node pressure is calculated by the amount of water taken out at each node and the hydraulic analysis, and the non-closed node effective head of each node where all pipes are in the non-closed state and the evaluation target pipe are closed. Calculated based on the effective water head at the time of closing of each node in the closed state,
For each node, subtract the closed node effective head from the non-closed node effective head to obtain the nodal effective head change, and divide this nodal effective head change by the non-closed node effective head to obtain the effective head change rate. The weight of importance is obtained by multiplying the effective head change rate by the amount of water taken out from the nodes, and the sum of the weighted effective head change rates at all nodes is obtained, and this sum is calculated for all nodes. The value obtained by dividing the total amount of water taken out, which is the sum of the amounts of water taken out, is the nodal pressure change rate.

  As described above, according to the present invention, the node pressure change rate is obtained by weighting the importance by the amount of extracted water in addition to the change in the effective head of the node at each node. Can assess the importance.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, a pipe network model is set which includes water sources that constitute the constituent elements of the pipe network, nodes s1 to s4, nodes between nodes, and pipes k1 to k5 that connect the nodes and the water source.

  In this pipe network model, hydraulic analysis is performed in a state where none of the pipelines k1 to k5 is closed, that is, in a non-closed state, and the non-closed node effective heads p1, p2, p3, and p4 at the water sources and nodes s1 to s4 are obtained. . In addition, each of the pipelines k1 to k5 is closed one by one and the hydraulic analysis is repeated, and the closed-node effective heads p1 ′, p2 ′, p3 ′, and p4 ′ for each state in which the pipelines k1 to k5 are closed. Ask for. This hydraulic analysis is a known technique and will not be described in detail.

  Next, the node extraction water amounts c1, c2, c3, and c4 are assumed at the nodes s1 to s4. Then, based on the amount of extracted water, the non-closed nodal effective head of each node, and the nodal effective nose of each node, the nodal pressure change rate resulting from the closure of the evaluation target pipe is obtained by the following procedure.

  The node effective heads p1 ', p2', p3 ', and p4' are subtracted from the non-closed node effective heads p1, p2, p3, and p4 of the nodes s1 to s4. p2-p2 ′, p3-p3 ′, and p4-p4 ′ are obtained.

  This nodal effective head change amount is divided by the non-closing nodal point effective head to obtain an effective head change rate (p1-p1 ′) / p1, (p2-p2 ′) / p2, (p3-p3 ′) / p3, (p4 -P4 ') Find p4.

  The effective head change rate c1 × (p1−p1 ′) / p1, c2 × (p2−p2 ′) obtained by multiplying the effective head change rate by the node extraction water amounts c1, c2, c3, and c4 and weighting by the node extraction water amount. ) / P2, c3 × (p3-p3 ′) / p3, c4 × (p4-p4 ′) p4.

  Total value of weighted effective head change rate at all nodes c1 × (p1−p1 ′) / p1 + c2 × (p2−p2 ′) / p2 + c3 × (p3−p3 ′) / p3 + c4 × (p4−p4 ′) p4 And the value obtained by dividing this total value by the total amount of extracted water c1 + c2 + c3 + c4, which is the sum of the amount of extracted water at all nodes, is used as the nodal pressure change rate.

  The above calculation is summarized as follows.

具体的な例として、管路ｋ３を評価対象管路として閉止する場合における節点圧力変化率を求める場合について説明する。

As a specific example, a case will be described in which a nodal pressure change rate is obtained when the pipe k3 is closed as an evaluation target pipe.

Table 2 shows the values of the water source and the non-closed node effective head at each of the nodes s1 to s4, and the k3 closed-time node effective head when the conduit k3 is closed.

  When this value is applied to the above-described equation 2, the nodal pressure change rate is expressed by the following equation.

同様にして、各管路ｋ１〜ｋ５における節点圧力変化率求め、節点圧力変化率が大きいほどに評価対象管路の水理的重要度が大きいと評価する。

Similarly, the nodal pressure change rate in each of the pipelines k1 to k5 is obtained, and it is evaluated that the hydraulic importance of the evaluation target pipeline is larger as the nodal pressure change rate is larger.
