Displaying summary report graphs

Summary report graphs can be displayed for one or more simulations:

See Report details, below, for details of these reports.

To display a summary report graph for a simulation:

  1. Select Results | Graph reports | Flow & system summary report.

    This displays the Summary Report Graphs dialog.

    If a simulation is open, the name will be added automatically.

  2. If necessary, add a simulation name.

    You can add multiple simulations.

  3. Choose the required graph type.
  4. To display the Graph view, click Produce Graph.

Report details

Flow summary report

The graphs displayed in the flow summary report are as follows:

Graph Description

Total Demand

Total demand from the model. This is the sum of Consumption, Transfer Out, Exceptional Demand, Leakage and Hydrant Flow.

Consumption

Total consumption. The total demand* defined at nodes in the node demand grid on the Node Demand Page.

 

*Demand profiles with the leakage option unchecked in the Demand Diagram Editor.

Transfer In

Total flow into the system via  Transfer Nodes (Flow Factor = 1)

Transfer Out

Total flow out of the system via Transfer Nodes (Flow Factor = -1)

Exceptional Demand

Total demand at nodes defined as exceptional flow on the Exceptional Flow Profile Page

Leakage

Total losses from the system due to leakage. This is made up of the total leakage* defined at nodes in the node demand grid and the Leakage Loss, both defined on the Node Demand Page.

 

*Demand profiles with the leakage option checked in the Demand Diagram Editor.

System summary report

The graphs displayed in the system summary report are as follows:

Graph Description

Storage

The total storage in the model (total volume in Reservoirs)

Total Demand

Total demand from the model. This is the sum of Consumption, Transfers Out, Exceptional Demand, Leakage and Hydrant Flow.

Sources

The total flow through pumping stations that have system role set to SOURCE. This parameter is set on the Pump Control Page of the Pump Station Property Sheet or the Pumping Station Grid View of the Links Grid.

Boost

The total flow through pumping stations that have system role set to BOOSTER. This parameter is set on the Pump Control Page of the Pump Station Property Sheet or the Pumping Station Grid View of the Links Grid.

PST Energy

The total energy used (at Pumping Stations)

Cost

The Cost of the total energy used

PST CO2 Equivalent

Total energy used at Pumping Stations expressed as a carbon dioxide equivalent (only graphed when carrying out Sustainability Analysis)

Sustainability (CO2) report 

The graphs displayed in the Sustainability (CO2) report are as follows:

Graph Description

Pipe Energy Loss

Daily rate of energy loss in pipes due to friction and minor losses.

Valve Energy Loss

Daily rate of energy loss at control valves

Node Energy Loss

Daily rate of energy loss at nodes due to customer taps

Total Energy Loss

Total daily rate of energy loss from pipes, valves and nodes

Pipe CO2 Equivalent Loss

Daily rate of energy loss in pipes in the network due to friction and minor losses expressed as carbon dioxide equivalent

Valve CO2 Equivalent Loss

Daily rate of energy loss at control valves expressed as carbon dioxide equivalent

Node CO2 Equivalent Loss

Daily rate of energy loss at nodes due to customer taps expressed as carbon dioxide equivalent

Total CO2 Equivalent Loss

Total daily rate of energy loss from pipes, valves and nodes expressed as carbon dioxide equivalent
