Water Contingency Analysis (WCA) Siemens PSS SINCAL Water Modules

Water Contingency Analysis (WCA)

Requirements and Use Cases

In order to increase the reliability of the water supply, it is useful to analyze the effects of pipe breaks, malfunctions, contingencies and planned maintenance measures at individual elements or of entire element groups.

• Assessment of the flow and pressure in case of malfunction (or maintenance) of individual network elements and generators as well as the caused malfunction of further elements due to the fault
• Consideration of all possible malfunction combinations or specific analysis of the malfunction of elements groups
• Analysis of the supply safety and analysis of weak points in the network as well as the derivation of countermeasures to increase the security of supply and reliability

Solution

The structured combinatorial generation and calculation of all configurations is possible with the module for contingency analysis (WCA) and is based on the high-performance calculation of individual stationary conditions.

• Automatic generation of all possible malfunction combinations in the network and consideration of user-defined groups
• Steady-state calculation for each combination, considering the elements that failed unconditionally as well as conditional malfunctions (caused malfunctions) that occur during the calculation according to defined conditions
