| Popis: | New generations of hydraulic networks and their management are emerging to increase the efficiency of the water network. With the incorporation of new technologies, the aim is to evolve towards smart hydraulic networks with the incorporation of ICT. The digital twin of a water distribution system implies the integration of virtual engineering models with city-scale reality models and GIS data. They are continuously updated with virtual operational data from SCADA, sensors, meters and other measurement sources, to replicate the network in real time, providing preciseand reliable data that can be used and control for analysis throughout the life cycle of a water system. This thesis is divided into two main parts. The first, is a theoretical study on the incorporation of Digital Twin technology in Water Distribution System, detailing the main requirements and involved technologies. The second part consists of a case study where, after examining the current water system in Lisbon, the progress that would be made by incorporating Digital Twin in a district metered area of the city are analyzed. The improvements in water losses and pressure control are studied in order to attain a better optimization of available or wasted energy. The incorporation of Digital Twin in water distribution networks contributes to creating a more sustainable, efficient and smartwater grids Objectius de Desenvolupament Sostenible::6 - Aigua Neta i Sanejament::6.4 - Per a 2030, augmentar substancialment la utilització eficient dels recursos hídrics a tots els sectors, i assegurar la sostenibilitat de l’extracció i del subministrament d’aigua potable per tal de fer front a l’escassetat d’aigua i reduir substancialment el nombre de persones que pateixen d’escassetat d’aigua |
