SCADA Analysis

SCADA analysis provides the same report types as the standard run, but accounts for boundary condition updates. 

Fireflow Analysis

Fire-Flow analysis provides two reports, the Hydrant report or the fire-flow report and the fire-flow design report. The fire-flow reports are used to display, query, and report fireflow simulation results for all fireflow nodes (active junction nodes assigned a fire-flow demand at the time the fireflow simulation was run).

Fireflow Report - Displays results for a standard fireflow simulation.  This report includes static demand, static pressure, fireflow demand, residual pressure, available flow at the hydrant and pressure at the available flow. Visit the Fireflow Run Results page to learn more about conducting fireflows. The Firef flow report contains the same information, regardless if the Minimum Design Pressure design flow calculation is checked or not.

Fireflow Design Report - The Fireflow design report displays the final design flow. Visit the Fireflow Run Results page to learn more about conducting fireflows.

With Minimum Design Pressure Unchecked (OFF) - When the minimum design pressure option is checked off, InfoWater will generate a fireflow design report that simply lists the critical node ID and its pressure during the standard fireflow simulation. The other fields are repeated from the standard fireflow report to aid you in viewing the fireflow design report.

With Minimum Design Pressure Checked (ON) - When the minimum design pressure option is checked on, InfoWater will generate a fireflow design report that determines the minimum pressures in the critical node searching range and returns a Design Flow to be used as a maximum available fireflow in order to maintain minimum pressures in the distribution system. Note: The velocity constraint is only considered in the available flow and design flow calculation if the maximum velocity option is selected.

Fireflow Pipe Impact - This table is generated to summarize the conditions at each pipe in the system as experienced across all simulated fireflow test cases. It is only available when Asset Performance Reporting is turned on.

This report is used to identify capacity bottlenecks in the system, namely when certain pipes consistently experience high velocities and headloss. When fireflow requirements are a driver for pipe size, this report can help prioritize which pipes to consider upsizing.

Fireflow Junction Impact - This table is generated to summarize the conditions at each junction in the system as experienced across all simulated fireflow test cases. It is only available when Asset Performance Reporting is turned on.

This report is used to identify critical pressure nodes throughout the system. The results include both the lowest pressure experienced, as well as information about the frequency of pressure warnings across all hydrant fireflow cases.

Multiple Fireflow Report - Full hydraulic results will be available for the entire simulation time period after a successful run.  Additional fire results will also be available for all fire junctions throughout the defined fire time period.  All results will be reported based on the defined report time step.  When the last fire time instant does not coincide with a standard report time step, an additional reporting step will also be provided for both the hydraulic and fire results.

A specific Multiple Fireflow report will also be generated for the fire junction nodes over the fire time period.  

Output Reports - Reports are available if you have at least one fireflow junction marked with a Yes value for the Generate Model Output in the Fireflow Demand Table. Up to six different reports are available when generated (one for each active element type in the model), as shown below:

• Fireflow Junction Report
• Fireflow Tank Report
• Fireflow Reservoir Report
• Fireflow Pump Report
• Fireflow Valve Report
• Fireflow Pipe Report

Reports will include the element results when the required fireflow is applied to the specified junction in the drop-down menu. You can select which junction you wish to see, but fireflow output for the element tables can only be seen one junction at a time. Use the menu to select the specific fireflow junction ID that you wish to see output data for.

Water Quality Reports

Water quality reports list the concentration of the water quality parameter or parameters being modeled. The reports are appended to the standard element (junction, pipe, tank, etc.) hydraulic report tables. See the Standard Analysis section above. Multi-Species water quality analysis reports will also be appended to the Standard Analysis tables.

Full hydraulic results will be available for the entire simulation time period after a successful run.  Additional fire results will also be available for all fire junctions throughout the defined fire time period.  All results will be reported based on the defined report time step.  When the last fire time instant does not coincide with a standard report time step, an additional reporting step will also be provided for both the hydraulic and fire results.
