Time Sequence Analysis applications consist of a customized set of discrete, steady-state functions and applications, which are run across a user-specified set of discrete time points.
The initial conditions (component states & variable measurements) for each time step are provided by available data sources, i.e. prior model state, SCADA measurements, remote simulator output, etc.
The analysis then runs for the updated conditions to determine steady state solution for the current configuration.
This progression continues until the sequence has completed all time steps in the user-defined interval, or user intervenes to stop the run.
Select the Time Sequence Analysis item directly from the Analysis main menu to open the dialog, which lists the available applications installed.
Fluid System Analysis - when available, select the Fluid System Analysis application for Time Sequence processing and choose [OK] to initiate a Time Sequence run for a Water Distribution network.
Electric System Analysis - when available, select the Electrical System Analysis application for Time Sequence processing and choose [OK] to initiate a Time Sequence run for an Electrical Distribution system.
After clicking [OK], the Open Electric (or Fluid) System Analysis Configuration File dialog opens, allowing user to select the appropriate configuration (.cfg) file for the chosen application.
Select the appropriate configuration file to proceed to the application's setup dialog:

The Configuration file is a custom file for each installation that defines mapping between SCADA measurement points and DEW model components. Configuration files are written in XML and specify SCADA Tag Name (Measurement Point Name), the UID (Unique Identifier) for the corresponding DEW model component, and the DEW measurement type definition. DEW measurement type definitions are defined in the DEW database. |
