Original abstract

HYDRENO (Hydraulic Analysis and Optimization of Distribution Networks with Integrated Irrigation Systems and Renewable Energy Sources) is a computational software tool developed in MATLAB App Designer for hydraulic analysis, simulation, and optimization of pressurized water distribution systems. The software was developed as a unified computational environment integrating hydraulic analysis of distribution networks with irrigation system modelling and the incorporation of renewable energy sources. The application enables modelling and analysis of hydraulic systems consisting of pipes, junctions, pumps, valves, reservoirs, multifunctional water towers, irrigated areas, and photovoltaic systems. The computational core is based on equations describing flow continuity, hydraulic losses, pressure conditions, and energy balance within pressurized pipe networks. The software implements iterative numerical methods for solving nonlinear hydraulic equations. A significant part of the software is focused on the optimization of distribution and irrigation networks. Implemented optimization methods enable optimization of pipe diameters, pressure conditions in network nodes, hydraulic losses, storage tank placement, operational parameters, and costs associated with water transport and irrigation operation. The software also enables the incorporation and evaluation of renewable energy sources within hydraulic systems. The application includes a graphical user interface developed in MATLAB App Designer, allowing users to define network topology, hydraulic parameters, operational boundary conditions, and optimization settings. The software provides graphical visualization of pressures, flow rates, hydraulic losses, and optimization results, including export of calculated data and engineering reports. The software functionality and numerical accuracy were verified using case studies and validated through comparison with reference hydraulic software. The developed computational framework extends conventional approaches to hydraulic analysis and distribution network design by integrating irrigation systems, renewable energy sources, and optimization methods within a single modular software environment.
