Water digital twins for flexible resilience-informed planning

该项目的目标是：1)为选定的案例研究开发WSIMOD实施；模型开发将包括对供水、分配算法和废水系统进行更详细的建模；2)设计可用于改善系统中选定的关键指标(即河流水质、低流量和高流量)的控制措施，包括创新的设计和操作选项，如抽取污水排放；3)开发多目标优化过程，以同时创建未来选项组合，在未来不确定情况下的水系统设计和规划过程中增加运行的灵活性和适应性。该博士学位的重点是通过水数字双胞胎的概念进一步开发和应用伦敦帝国理工学院的水系统集成建模框架。这项工作将为综合水系统的复原力信息规划提供新的数字平台，与数字未来和工程净零EPSRC优先领域直接相关。

Objectives of the project are:1) To develop a WSIMOD implementation for a selected case study; model developments will include more detailed modelling of water supply, allocation algorithms and wastewater systems 2) To design of controls that can be used to improve the key selected indicators in the system (i.e., river water quality, low and high flows), including innovative design and operational options, such as Abstraction Effluent Discharge 3) To develop a multi-objective optimisation process to simultaneously create a portfolio of future options that builds in flexibility and adaptability of operation into the water systems design and planning process under future uncertainties. The focus this PhD is on further development and application of Imperial College London's Water Systems Integration Modelling Framework through the concept of a Water Digital Twin. The work will provide novel digital platform for resilience-informed planning of integrated water systems, directly relevant for the digital futures and engineering net zero EPSRC priority areas.
