Benefit from state-of-the-art optimisation technology
Augment the the operation of your water system using objective-based optimisation.
- Uses industry-standard hydraulic models:
- Incorporates channel hydraulics into optimizer.
- No separate conceptual model required.
- Supported by KISTERS team of over 100 water resource and computer science engineers.
- Designed to find robust solutions despite the challenges of predictive uncertainty.
- Solves for multiple, potentially competing, objectives in priority order.
- Intuitive graphical user interface integrated with the KISTERS Water Portal.
Real Time Optimisation is multi-faceted and can be adapted and applied to a number of use cases, from hydropower to drinking water quality compliance. These use cases can be combined as needed.
Hydropower
Optimise generation within compliance regulations
Using detailed hydraulic models to capture dynamic riverine conditionals, the optimisation platform can meet environmental and regulatory guidelines while maximizing generation, revenue, and other targets.
Minimize water level disturbances
Accurately time the generation of power stations in a cascade and reduce water level fluctuations in intermediate river reaches.
Track load requests
Track load requests for an entire (sub)system by allocating load to different power stations in the most efficient way.
Maximize generation
Maximize the total energy generation over the optimisation period.
Maximize revenue
Maximize the total energy revenue over the optimisation period, taking into account variable energy prices.
Drainage
Maintain levels within target range
Maintain open channel water levels within a specified target range.
Ensure water quality
Maintain water quality by setting a maximum water age, allowable chloride concentration ranges, or similar criteria
Minimize energy use
Minimize the total energy use over the optimization period.
Minimize energy cost
Minimize the total energy cost over the optimization period, taking into account variable energy prices.
Irrigation and urban water supply
Get water to where it needs to be, at the right time
Ensure requests for water are met exactly and punctually. A full tracking and display system allows for complete transparency.
Minimize waste
Minimize the flushing of excess water through the system.
Flood control
Create dynamic flood retention capacity when needed
Reduce or eliminate flooding by drawing down river reaches or reservoirs ahead of forecasted storm events.
Hold stormwater when it is safe to do so
When conditions allow, retain water in flood control reservoirs for irrigation and infiltration purposes.
