Disturbance Extraction for Burst Detection in Water Distribution Networks Using Pressure Measurements

Pipe bursts in water distribution networks cause considerable water losses and lead to potential environmental hazards. Effective burst detection methods enable water companies to repair broken pipes in a timely manner and minimize damage and disruption. A data‐driven detection method is developed and proven for real‐time leak and burst detection in water distribution networks. The method uses a unique integration of disturbance extraction and...
