SUMMARY Two power consumption smoothing methods for a water transmission and distribution system based on water supply management and demand adjustment are proposed and evaluated by simulations. One is a power smoothing method with the achievable power target calculation. The other is a power smoothing method with demand adjustment that can achieve flat demand by effectively using the storage capacity of receiving tanks of heavy consumers. Simulation tests show that the former method is effective in attaining flat power consumption during a time zone with high water demand and that the latter method can achieve almost flat power consumption throughout the day.
