Background of the Invention
CN108027594B: G. Cussonneo, P-A. Jarrige, A. Dembele, F. Compang; The invention relates to a method and a system for detecting anomalies in a water distribution system. The water distribution system comprises a network of nodes and is equipped with sensors at least for water flow speed at a subset of the nodes. The water distribution system is modeled by a hydraulic model. The method according to the invention comprises parameterizing the hydraulic model with initial values of a set of control variables, obtaining values of state variables of the network at the nodes with sensors, calculating predicted values of the state variables with the hydraulic model, recursively calculating the values of the control variables applied to the hydraulic model that allow obtaining predicted values of the state variables that are closest to the observed values, and classifying the nodes of the network on the basis of the values of the control variables.

Larson; By monitoring pressure transients in a liquid within a liquid distribution system using only a single sensor, events such as the opening and closing of valves at specific fixtures are readily detected. The sensor, which can readily be coupled to a faucet bib, transmits an output signal to a computing device. Each such event can be identified by the device based by comparing characteristic features of the pressure transient waveform with previously observed characteristic features for events in the system. These characteristic features, which can include the varying pressure, derivative, and real Cepstrum of the pressure transient waveform, can be used to select a specific fixture where a valve open or close event has occurred. Flow to each fixture and leaks in the system can also be determined from the pressure transient signal. A second sensor disposed at a point disparate from the first sensor provides further event information.
