Find operational bottlenecks, minimize energy consumption and model real-time operations.
Variable speed pumping (VSP): Control leakage through precise pressure regulation, improve peak energy usage, and control tank drain and fill cycles.
Rule-based controls: Implement and optimize operational controls with any level of complexity.
Unidirectional flushing: Evaluate flushing times and effectiveness of different sequential manipulation strategies.
Pressure and flow control valves: Use WaterGEMS built-in valve elements to model any type of pressure or flow control device.
Criticality analysis: Evaluate the consequence of failure across your entire system, and discover the assets with the highest hydraulic and operational impact.
Pressure-dependent demands: Calculate demands as a function of pressure to effectively model intermittent supply scenarios, sprinkler heads, and water loss.
Isolation valves: Use this new element to model system segments, perform trace analyses, and find vulnerable infrastructure assets.
Hydrants: Model hydrants as independent nodes leveraging the new pressure-dependent demands, and fire flow navigator features.
VSP batteries: Model complex batteries of variable speed pumps using a single simplified element that correctly models series and parallel installations as a whole.
