WDNetXL: Hydraulic and Topology Analysis Integration and Features

The WDNetXL is an integrated system for water distribution network (WDN) analysis, planning and management distributed as MS-Excel® add-ins. It integrates advanced and robust WDN hydraulic simulation with topological analysis and optimization strategies to support technicians for complex WDN analysis, design and management problems. The paper presents in details the feature of functions devoted to network hydraulic and topology analysis and discusses the technical effectiveness also with respect to planning and management tasks of hydraulic systems.
