<br />. .GS~31\) <br /> <br />Analysis Tools <br /> <br />An important feature of the DSS will be the provision of a common set of tools to analyze <br />the results from resident and non-resident models, as well as real-time status information. <br />These tools will allow for visualization of data in pre-defined formats as well as offer the <br />flexibility to customize analysis of model results. The analysis tools will include capabilities <br />to: summarize model results; evaluate system behavior with respect to performance criteria; <br />track model performance; portray multi-objective tradeoffs; and provide general statistical <br />analysis, graphics, and reporting utilities. The system will be designed to accommodate <br />other types of analytical procedures, such as risk and uncertainty analysis, at a future date. <br /> <br />The analysis tools documentation will include descriptions of the capabilities and use of the <br />tools, example applications, and pertinent background information on analytical procedures. <br /> <br />PROJECT SCHEDULE <br /> <br />The development and implementation of the Integrated Modeling System will proceed in a <br />phased approach. PRSYM model development will commence in the spring of 1993. Initial <br />development efforts will focus on the implementation of basic simulation capabilities. A <br />demonstration prototype for the TV A system will be completed by December 1993. More <br />complex processes, including a graduated time step, variable spatial resolution, water <br />temperature and DO modeling, and the link to power economics, will be developed in 1994. <br />Operational testing and implementation of the PRSYM model on the TV A system will <br />proceed through 1995. <br /> <br />Implementation of the Modular Hydrologic Modeling System and the development of DMIs <br />to other non-resident models will also occur during 1993. Analysis tools will be developed <br />in a phased approach through 1993 and 1994. <br /> <br />The generic applicability of the Decision Support and Modeling Systems must be <br />demonstrated on a second utility. The second utility will be selected in 1993. Tailoring of <br />the DSS and modeling frameworks to the second utility will occur in the 1994-1996 time <br />period. <br /> <br />ROLE OF SUBCONTRACTORS AND CONSULTANTS <br /> <br />The Integrated Modeling System will be jointly developed by TV A, a subcontractor, and <br />consultants. The University of Colorado Center for Advanced Decision Support for Water <br />and Environmental Systems (CADSWES) has been selected as the Subcontractor for the <br />model development. This selection is based upon CADSWES' involvement as the <br />Subcontractor for the development of the DSS component of the INTEGRAL Project, as well <br />as CADSWES' experience with object-oriented programming and the development of a <br />generic, modular reservoir system model for an operational water resource agency. <br /> <br />S-4 <br />
