Análise de dados como subsídio para modelagem e operação do Sistema de Abastecimento de Água Pratagy em Maceió-AL

Abstract

The present study focuses on the operation of the Pratagy Water Supply System (WSS) located in Maceió, Alagoas. Operational control is essential to balance the volume of water produced with the demand in each supply area. Operating based on rules derived from operational data analysis brings benefits to water supply companies and society, justifying the use of tools that contribute to the rationalization of resources employed in water production and distribution. In this context, a Python application was developed to determine the consumption patterns in different supply areas. Once the consumption pattern was identified, the EPANET tool was used to build the hydraulic model and establish the operational rule for each reservoir. Finally, the simulations were extended to the general model of the WSS to determine the hourly flow demand in each part of the integrated system and the pressures acting on the main pipelines.
