Abstract

In this chapter we compare continuous nonlinear optimization with mixed integer optimization of water supply networks by means of a meso scaled network instance. We introduce a heuristic approach, which handles discrete decisions arising in water supply network optimization through penalization using nonlinear programming. We combine the continuous nonlinear and the mixed integer approach introduced in Chap. 3 to incorporate the solution quality. Finally, we show results for a real municipal water supply network.
