Innovyze Releases ICMLive Generation V5.0, Expanding the Possibilities for Real-Time Operational Forecasting, Modeling and Management of Urban and Rural Catchments
Latest Version Adds Increased Data Source Compatibility and Powerful Historic Mode Capability
Broomfield, Colorado, USA, July 8, 2014 — Innovyze, a leading global innovator of business analytics software and technologies for smart wet infrastructure, today announced the worldwide release of the V5.0 Generation of its ICMLive for timely, accurate and reliable catchment forecasts. The new release expands the ability of wastewater utilities and river authorities worldwide to harness the power of real-time data, scenario planning and predictive modeling to transform the operation and management of their collection systems and anticipate and mitigate the effects of extreme weather-related events.
A powerful risk assessment and real-time decision making tool, ICMLive enables managers and operators to consider the influence of a full range of catchment factors in the management of flooding and reduction of unregulated discharges; the optimization of storage and existing infrastructure for savings on capital works; and the optimization of pumps to lower energy costs and reduce CO2 emissions. The software is designed to work automatically. Once a system is configured, real-time data is continually and automatically harvested and quality-checked. This data can be derived from a number of sources, including observed and forecasted radar rainfall, online water quality measurements, and ancillary structure and pump operation time series. Simulations are run automatically at a user-defined frequency. They draw on the full hydrodynamic and technological capabilities of InfoWorks ICM, including one- and two-dimensional modeling techniques, real-time control, dynamic water quality analysis, and GPU-enhanced and remote simulation. Simulation frequency can change in response to user-defined conditions. For example, increased rainfall intensity can trigger a reduction in the interval between simulations.
Support for additional telemetry data source formats is a key feature of the new release. Data can now be acquired from Proficy Historian (previously known as iHistorian), developed by GE Intelligent Platforms (Charlottesville, VA), and ClearSCADA, developed by Schneider Electric (Rueil-Malmaison, France). These additions, combined with existing support for Oracle, SQL Server, PI and generic ODBC and CSV data source formats, make ICMLive compatible with the majority of world-leading telemetry systems.
Version 5.0 also adds a new Historic Mode capability to ICMLive, allowing an operator to recreate and reassess system scenarios from any previous time. With the additional option of incorporating user edits to the data, utilities and river authorities can explore a range of different response decisions to identify system best practice. The capability also serves as an invaluable training tool, enabling new operators to quickly gain crucial experience without the need to access a live system.
The latest version also benefits from a raft of additional layout, usability and performance enhancements. These include extended alert definition functionality; the ability to add free text to email alert content; and a number of improvements to the Operator Client interface, central to the use of ICMLive within the control room. In addition, ICMLive V5.0 benefits from enhancements to the underlying InfoWorks ICM V5.0 engine, including 2D mesh enhancements, additional runoff models and expanded initial condition options.

“ICMLive continues to expand its capabilities as the leading product for real-time operational forecasting and modeling of urban and rural catchments in the market,” said Paul F. Boulos, Ph.D., BCEEM, NAE, Hon.D.WRE,Dist.D.NE, F.ASCE, President, COO and Chief Technical Officer of Innovyze. “Wastewater utilities and river authorities of all sizes rely on this mission-critical solution to proactively manage and operate their collection systems on a day-to-day basis. The features made available in ICMLive Version 5.0 allow both new and experienced operators to have complete confidence in the underlying data sources, hydraulic models and forecasts — and ultimately in the policies and procedures they employ to optimally manage their catchments.”

Orifice and Weir flow calculations

Note: Orifice and Weir Flow Computations The orifice flow calculation proceeds as follows: 1. Initially and whenever the setting (i.e., the fraction opened) changes, flow coefficients for both orifice and weir behavior are computed as follows: a. For side orifices: Define Hcrit = h/2 where h is the opening height. b. For bottom orifices: i. For a circular orifice, compute area over length (i.e., circumference) as AL = h /4. ii. For a rectangular orifice compute AL = h*w/(2*(h+w)) where w is the opening width. iii. Compute Hcrit = Cd*AL/0.414 where Cd is the orifice discharge coefficient. At step 1b, the critical head for the bottom orifice, where orifice flow turns into weir flow, is found by equating the result of the orifice equation to that of the weir equation Cd*Area*sqrt(2g)*sqrt(Hcrit) = Cw*Length*sqrt(Hcrit)*Hcrit or Hcrit = (Cd * Area) / (Cw/sqrt(2g) * Length) The value of Cw/sqrt(2g) for a sharp crested weir is 0.414.

There are four steps to using EMC concentrations in your network: 1. Define your pollutant by adding a pollutant using the Data=>Quality=>Pollutant command : 2. Define the Land Use by using the Data=>Land Uses command or the Land Use Editor: 3. Define Buildup to be None by clicking on the None Tab: 4. Define the EMC Washoff concentration by clicking on the Washoff Tab: This is where you would add a GW concentration More: http://www.swmm2000.com/
