User Selectable Engineering Algorithms

    Physical processes in your basin are modeled according to specific algorithms or methods you select, based on timestep size, data availability, desired resolution or an institutional need to use a particular method. Some examples of categories of physical processes and their methods are:

    • Power Generation:
      Plant Power Method, Unit Generator Power Method, Peak Base Power Method and Empirical Power Plant Method. 

    • Tailwater (TW) Calculation:
      TW Base Value Only, TW Base Value Plus Lookup Table and TW Stage Flow Lookup Table. 

    • Reach Routing Methods:
      Time Lag, Impulse Response, Muskingum, MuskingumCunge, Kinematic Wave and Storage Routing.
