Embodiment approach 1

[0098] Embodiment 1 is a method of optimally determining sensor or infrastructure placement in a fluid network comprising:

[0099] Create a model of the fluid network, wherein the model includes i) a plurality of directional connection nodes representing fluid infrastructure disposed in the fluid network and ii) a node positioned at one or more selected locations in the fluid network or multiple sensors;

[0100] representing the model as a matrix data structure associated with processors disposed outside the fluid network;

[0101] analyzing the matrix by the processor to assess whether each node of the model satisfies one or more locateability criteria, wherein analyzing the matrix includes interpreting and executing instructions associated with the processor; and

[0102] The sensor or infrastructure placement in the fluid network is determined based on the results of analyzing the matrix.

[0103] Embodiment 2 is the method of embodiment 1, wherein the model comprises o...

Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for optimally determining sensor or infrastructure placement in a fluid network, for determining an anomaly of interest in the fluid network, and for determining sensor coverage in a fluid network, which are based on a model of the fluid network represented by a directed graph.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to methods and systems for modeling, analyzing, monitoring and inspecting fluid networks. Background technique [0002] Fluid networks such as water networks may suffer from problems affecting availability and quality, including slow or rapid leaks, corrosion to transport infrastructure, contamination, etc. Such problems may not be identified and resolved until they have a significant impact on infrastructure, water quality or health. An example is the Elk River chemical spill in January 2014, in which approximately 300,000 residents were affected and 122 people were hospitalized due to the contamination. Contents of the invention [0003] It is desirable to be able to detect problems in fluid networks early or in real time (e.g., pipe coating problems, leaks / cracks, contamination, etc.) non-responsive. [0004] In one aspect, the present disclosure describes a method of optimally determining sensor or infrastructure...
