Modeling and robustness evaluation of Interdependent urban utility networks

Description

This project develops a Hetero-functional graph theory (HFGT) based weighted Hetero-functional graph theory (WHFGT) modeling framework for the interdependent urban infrastructures followed by an analysis of network robustness. Robustness is accessed by simulating various attacks on the process relation graph that maps interdependency among the processes(functionalities). The proposed methodology is tested using a conceptual interdependent network, comprising of an 38-node power distribution system, a 30-node water distribution network, a 24 node Transportation network, a 24-node natural gas system and a 24-node district heating network.
