Abstract
Topological and hydraulic assessments to examine whether required demand and pressure are satisfied and using these assessed results as a criteria have been general methodology for reliability assessment of water distribution systems. However, many of existing studies that used nodal pressure calculated by hydraulic assessment for reliability assessment have two major issues to be solved. The one is that demand-driven analysis was used for hydraulic assessment and the other is that serviceability was not considered for reliability assessment. In addition, all of the studies used pressure-demand analysis which is suitable to hydraulic analysis for water distribution systems under abnormal operating condition considered only available nodal demand for reliability assessment. This means that advantages which can be obtained by pressure-driven analysis are not used properly and efficiently. In this study, new methodology for reliability assessment of water distribution systems using HSPDA model and distance measure method is suggested. This methodology considers both nodal pressure and nodal available demand for reliability assessment. Suggested methodology is applied to two water distribution systems to show its applicability and application results are compared with existing study.
