RESUMO

This study is concerned with the use of the metaheuristic Simulated Annealing for the optimal planning of regional effluent systems and its capacity expansion. The first model deals with the spatial optimization of the system: given a network where some nodes represent effluent sources and other nodes represent the location of possible sewage treatment plants, the model seeks the minimum cost configuration. The first module of the model verifies the hydraulic viability of proposed configurations, by solving the universal equation of head loss. This is also done via annealing since there is a multitude of solutions because any flow direction is allowed. The second part of the model consists of trying different candidate solutions for the network, by means of changing its configurations and/or diameters and looking for the lowest cost solution. The second model deals with the capacity expansion of the system. The planning horizon is divided in two parts. Each solution for the second period is tested also for the first period, thus providing a global minimum for the entire planning period. The use of annealing coupled with intensive use of simulation results in large processing times, especially for the dynamic model. The models were tested for a network available in the literature and also in the Barigui river basin, in the Metropolitan Region of Curitiba, PR. Cost equations were derived for conveyance systems, lifting stations and wastewater treatment plants. The use of Simulated Annealing proved to be an interesting tool for the planning and optimization of regional systems such as the ones here studied. Further studies are recommended such as a mix of the two hydraulic models developed, seeking for the improvement of computational time. Additional testing of the annealing parameters are also needed and O&M cost functions should be detailed.
