LT Vista Enhancements

  • A binary schedule file (.schl) is available after an LT Vista run, containing all inputs and outputs. This file can be reloaded and edited and re-run. This file will be invaluable for client support, since it will enable the user to send a .schl to VistaSupport to quickly review. This will replace the need for database backup/restore procedures.

    An archiving process has been put into place to automatically archive LT results from the database to a file archive. The file format is the same as the .schl file. This maintains the database yet still enables the user to access and review and/or re-run the scenario.

    The user can select river segments that are “active” in the current run. Therefore, in large systems, different segments of the system can be optimized in sequence.

  • Load forecasts at the customer level can now be displayed.

  • A new period-to-period maximum discharge ramp rate can now be defined. i.e. the maximum change in flow from week i to week (i+1) may be specified.
