Description
- Test rig for investigating the resilience of water supply systems
- Water is pumped from an open tank with two pumps into two acrylic glass cylinders and from there flows back to the tank via two valves
- Transparent cylinders and visible sections allow visual access
- Valves allow the introduction of disturbances and variation of the outflow at the cylinders
- system topology can be customised with additional valves
Test methods
- Validation of adaptive, signal-based control methods based on time series analysis and machine learning
- Resilience evaluation of the technical system by analysing resilience metrics
- Increasing resilience through adaptivity of the system topology
- Impact of consumer behaviour on the resilience of the water supply system
