Abstract
The choice of a pump schedule has a great influence on the cost efficiency of a system, when the energy consumption charge changes during the day. The pump scheduling problem for a simplified regional water network is considered, and the formulation of the problem as a Markov decision process is given. The experimental section shows computer simulations and compares the results with a novel evolutionary approach based on neutral genetic algorithm techniques.
