Map view
Map automatically zoomed to the location of the event, highlighting all customers affected by the fire event, as well as flow location. Customers are represented with the following colors:
- Red customers: customers with no pressure (no supply) due to the event
- Yellow customers: customers with low pressure due to the event (to be able to identify low pressure customers, please make sure a minimum pressure threshold is defined in the digital twin settings, under the service expectations tab. See below for more information on how they are considered)
In the identification of the affected customers all those that always have low pressure or no pressure even without the event (no pressure or low pressure chronical customers) are ignored.
User can click in any element in the map to see the results for a specifc element. Graph result will only be available if the event simulation run is Extended Period type, please see below for more information.
Using the map controls, the user can also analyze several hydraulic parameters, such as pressure, flow, velocities, etc.
Map Controls
Layers: Use the layers option located on the top of the map to enable or disable additional geospatial information as well as the 3D context. Any GIS information that is uploaded in WaterSight (through shapefile upload in the GIS administration page) will be here displayed.
Model Element Visibility: The user can control the elements that are shown on the map, such as:
- Pipes - enable or disable pipes elements on the map view and which variables to see (diameter, flow, headloss, headloss gradient, velocity). Default is on.
- Junctions - enable or disable nodes elements on the map view, which variables to see (elevation, demand, hydraulic grade line, pressure). Default is on.
- Tanks - enable or disable tanks elements on the map view. Default is on.
- Reservoirs - enable or disable reservoirs elements on the map view. Default is on.
- Pumps - enable or disable pumps elements on the map view. Default is on.
- Control Valves - enable or disable PRV and FCV elements on the map view, and which status to see. Default is on.
- Isolation Valves - enable or disable isolation valves (TVC, GPV and Isolation valves elements) on the map view, and which status to see. Default is off.
- Customers - enable or disable customers elements on the map view. Default is off.
- Laterals - enable or disable laterals elements on the map view. Default is off.
- Flow Animation - allows the user to easily understand flow direction, through particles simulation.
Model Symbology
- Preset Map Configurations - controls the all model symbology and display:
- Default - Pipes Flow and Junctions Pressure are selected. Styles configurations can be configured by the user in the Administration, under Numerical Models.
- Low Pressures - Only Junctions with low pressures are displayed in the map. Styles configurations can be configured by the user in the Administration, under Numerical Models.
- High Pressure - Only Junctions with high pressures are displayed in the map. Styles configurations can be configured by the user in the Administration, under Numerical Models.
- Transmission Main - Only Pipes flow is displayed. Styles configurations can be configured by the user in the Administration, under Numerical Models.
- SCADA Elements - All sensors are displayed in the map
- Custom - Different model views can be configured and become easily accessible to operators. The user can select which variable to see for pipes and junctions. Styles configurations can be configured by the user in the Administration, under Numerical Models. More information here.
- Elements Outline - if enabled, all network elements are outlined in the map by a white contour line
- Pipes - allows the user to select which styles configuration to see in the map. Several styles configuration are automatically available by default such as: diameter, headloss gradient, flow, velocity, age and concentration. The user can change the defaults or add more. Styles configurations can be configured by the user in the Administration, under Numerical Models.
- Junctions - allows the user to select which styles configuration to see in the map. Several styles configuration are automatically available by default such as: age, concentration, elevation, HGL, pressure, Low pressure. The user can change the defaults or add more. Styles configurations can be configured by the user in the Administration, under Numerical Models.
- Control Valves - choose the control valves to display on the map: all, active, inactive or closed.
Side-by side view:
Syde by side view will only be available for emergency events that were created in the last 7 days. If side-by-side view option is on, it will be possible to easily compare the baseline scenario (with no event) with the event scenario. User can click in any element in the map to see the results for a specifc element and compare pre and post event conditions. Graph result will only be available if the event simulation run is Extended Period type, please see below for more information.
Summary
Statistics about the simulated fire event:
- Number of critical Customers affected
- Total number of Customers affected, including zero pressure and low pressure
- Pressure at the fire node
Affected Customers
Customers Without Water
Customers that in the baseline scenario (with no event) had pressure and during the event scenario end up with no pressure, during at least one time step of the all simulation period.
Low Pressure Customers
Customers with low pressure:
- All customers that in the baseline scenario (with no event) were above the minimum pressure threshold (defined in the administration, under the service expectations tab) and during the event scenario end up with no pressure, during at least one time step of the all simulation period
- All customers that were already below the minimum pressure in the baseline scenario (no event) but had a pressure decrease greater than 15% with the event, during at least one time step of the all simulation period
Critical Customers Affected
Number of critical customers with zero pressure or low pressure during the simulated event. The information about critical customers need to be previously provided by the user and filled in the configuration template used to import customers information, in the digital twin administration.
Simulate
Opens a dialog to run the steady state or extended period simulation:.
Steady state run
Hydraulic model engine will run in order to identify customers impacted by the flow event (customers without supply and customers with low pressure). Steady state means that the period analyzed corresponds only to the exact instant when the fire is happening with the specified flow 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.
Demand Node: the label of the node where fire demand is added
Simulation type: Allows to switch between Steady State and Extended Period
Demand: flow demand at the selected fire event node in flow units setup for the digital twin
Fire start time: Start duration of the fire event
Duration: duration of the fire event (duration for which the flow demand will be applied)
Calculation start date: Start date of the model run
Calculation end date: End date of the model run
