Hello,
I´m looking for a tutorial, tip´s and protips to upgrade my model into a EPS, changing the reservoir´s for tank´s, use controls for the pump´s and detect critical headloss gradient.
Thanks!!
Hello Hernan,
For tanks, you would enter the minimum, maximum and initial HGL based on the real tank. See: Understanding Tank Operating Range
For controls, ensure you're using the latest version (currently 10.04.00.108) and use the new Controls user interface to easily set up on an off controls for your pumps based on the appropriate conditions (such as a downstream tank level). See: Using Controls, Conditions, Actions and Control Sets in WaterGEMS and WaterCAD
You'll likely also need to develop patterns for your demands, to vary the demand over the course of the simulation duration.
For more guidance on setting up these things for an EPS, see the fundamentals training, linked to from this article: Learning Resource Guide for new users of WaterGEMS and WaterCAD
