After selecting Pump Shutdown from New Event menu on the Operational Response page a wizard will guide the user through the workflow. The goal is to easily simulate and show the impacts on the service levels throughout the network caused by a sudden shutdown of one or more pumps.
1. Select the Pump or Pumps to be turned off
Locate and click on one or more pumps on the map, which will be turned off. If this step is canceled, no event will be created.
2. Setup and Run the computation
After selecting the pump(s) the user will be prompted to enter the computation settings. There are two simulation types available:
Steady state run
Hydraulic model engine will run in order to identify customers impacted by the pump shutdown event (customers without supply and customers with low pressure). Steady state means that the period analyzed corresponds only to the exact instant when pump(s) are off for the specified instant (defined by the user). In that case, above the simulate button, it will be displayed Steady state as simulation type.
Extended period run
Extended period means that the period analyzed comprises a specific duration (and not an instant) defined by the user. In that case, above the simulate button, it will be displayed Extended Period as simulation type.
3. Resume running the Pump Shutdown computation
If you canceled out from the previous step, you will be presented the Pump shutdown Computation Panel. Clicking the Simulate button allows you enter the computation settings again.
4. Compute in progress
After the initial event simulation has been started the "Progress" page is displayed.
5. Results
Upon completion of the simulation run, the results are displayed in the Pump Shutdown editor.
