Fault detection data creation using an experimental water distribution system

Model based event detection and localization states one method to deal with leakage occurrence in water distribution systems (WDS). Since access to hydraulic models and measurement data of real world systems is limited for researchers the opportunities for testing new model approaches on one and the same WDS are scarce. In this article we present an experimental water distribution system (EWDS-TUG) that allows for simulating scaled real world water demand and leakage scenarios. We show example experiments and the related measurement data along with metadata that are supposed to be provided to the scientific community for model testing.
