Operate

Model operations accurately and make systems more efficient

Bentley’s integrated water solution offers accurate operations modeling for efficient operations that minimize costs, improve emergency response, and maximize system performance. This increased system efficiency allows utilities and their consultants to conserve water and reduce energy usage, ultimately minimizing energy and operating costs.

Software tools for accurate operations modeling, include:

• Accurate pump modeling:
  WaterCAD and WaterGEMS energy cost management tools can take the work out of finding and correcting pumping energy problems.
  
  
• Optimized pump scheduling:
  Darwin Scheduler allows engineers to optimize pump operations. This module is included in WaterGEMS and available for WaterCAD.

• Reduced water losses and non-revenue water:
  Bentley recommends applying its software products to the International Water Association Best Practices, which combine 4 strategies to address water leakage: Active Leakage Control, Pressure Management, Speed and Quality of Repairs, and Infrastructure Management.
