Weather feeds are used to control the switching of database objects to be used in projection runs based on the current weather forecast.
For example, different demand diagrams may be used according to the forecast temperature.
The Weather Feed Configuration dialog is used to select the weather feeds providing the forecast data. It also allows users to add and remove weather feeds as well as view their properties.
The dialog is displayed when Weather Feeds is selected from the Configuration menu in the Administrator mode.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Weather Feed List |
Enabled (=added) weather feeds. The following weather feeds are currently available for use:
|
|
Add |
Adds (= enable) weather feeds. This displays the Add Weather Feed dialog allowing selection of weather feeds for enabling. This dialog contains all the system-defined weather feeds that have not been enabled. |
|
Remove |
Removes (=disable) the selected weather feed from the list. This makes the weather feed unavailable for use but does not delete its properties so it can be re-enabled at a later date without a need for re-configuration. Note:
No checks are performed at disabling time to see if removed weather feeds are referenced by any switch controllers . All switch controllers will continue to reference their configured weather feed regardless if it is enabled or disabled. Switch controller objects are created and edited in InfoWorks WS Pro, and are used to set up links to weather feeds and to set up calendar data. |
