<br />000313 <br /> <br />1 <br /> <br />INTRODUCTION <br /> <br />Report Objectives and Scope <br /> <br />This report specifies the requirements for an integrated system of models to support reserVoir <br />system and power operations. This modeling system is being developed as part of the <br />INTEGRAL Project, an Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) and Tennessee Valley <br />Authority (TV A) collaborative effort to develop improved tools for the coordinated planning <br />and scheduling of power generation and multipurpose reservoir operations. The report <br />describes the various components of the modeling system, as well as the intended <br />applications and functional requirements for each component. This information is intended to <br />provide guidance for model development and implementation efforts. <br /> <br />Role of Subcontractors and Consultants <br /> <br />The Integrated Modeling System specified within this report will be collaboratively developed <br />by TV A, a Subcontractor, and Consultants. The University of Colorado Center for <br />Advanced Decision Support for Water and Environmental Systems (CADSWES) has been <br />selected as the Subcontractor for the model development. This selection is based on <br />CADSWES' involvement as the Subcontractor for the development of the Decision Support <br />System (DSS) component of the INTEGRAL Project (see Section 2), as well as CADSWES' <br />experience with the development of the River Simulation System (RSS) for the Bureau of <br />Reclamation (see Appendix A). <br /> <br />The use of CADSWES in the modeling component will ensure that the reservoir system <br />model developed in the context of this project is directly integrated with the DSS. <br />CADSWES also brings to the INTEGRAL Project experience with object-oriented <br />programming and the development of a modular and transportable reservoir system model for <br />an operational water resource agency. Consequently, CADSWES and TV A will jointly <br />develop the basic 'resident' power and reservoir system simulation model (referred to as <br />PRSYM) specified in Section 3. CADSWES will also be responsible for the development of <br />a mechanism to exchange data between the DSS and 'non-resident' utility-specific models and <br />large historical databases (see Section 4). Additionally, CADSWES will work with a second <br />utility to demonstrate the usefulness of the INTEGRAL DSS and modeling framework on a <br />system other than TVA's. All work with CADSWES will be contracted in a phased <br /> <br />I-I <br />
