Transcript
00:03
The InfoWater Pro Scheduler can assist you in selecting cost-effective pumping policies
00:08
to reduce operational costs and provide more reliable operations.
00:13
Once you run the Scheduler app and are happy with the results, you can export them into a selected Control Set.
00:19
In the Scheduler, from the View drop-down menu, select Export.
00:24
Since exported controls will overwrite the existing Control Set,
00:28
it is recommended that you keep the original controls and statuses in a separate Control Set and create a new control set for updates.
00:36
Next to the Export drop-down, click the Browse (…) button to open the Control Set dialog.
00:42
Click New, enter a Control Set ID, such as “SCHEDULE1", and then click OK.
00:48
The Export view of the Scheduler reappears.
00:51
Make sure that SCHEDULE1 is selected in the drop-down list, and then click Export.
00:57
Click Yes to confirm.
00:59
Check the Scheduler Message Board to confirm that the pump schedule was exported successfully.
01:05
Once the new control set is exported, Close the Scheduler.
01:09
You can now launch a standard hydraulic simulation and execute an energy simulation,
01:14
based on the new operation controls that you exported from the Scheduler.
01:18
Before running a standard hydraulic simulation, make a copy of your active scenario.
01:24
From the Model Explorer, click Scenario Explorer.
01:28
Right-click the active scenario and select Copy.
01:32
Right-click it again and select Paste As Child.
01:40
Activate the new child scenario and click Edit Active Scenario.
01:47
In the Active Scenario window, double-click Control Set.
01:52
In the Control Set window, click SCHEDULE1, and then click OK.
01:57
SCHEDULE1 appears as the active Control Set.
02:01
Click Apply to close the Active Scenario window.
02:05
Close the Scenario Explorer.
02:08
On the InfoWater Pro ribbon, in the Analysis panel, click Run to open the Run Manager.
02:14
Click Run to run the simulation and create an output for the current scenario.
02:19
Close the Run Manager.
02:21
Note the additional energy output data for a pump element in the Model Explorer.
02:27
The results can also be viewed from the Report Manager,
02:31
including an Energy Cost report, a Demand Cost report—if demand charge data has been entered—and an Energy Summary report.
