Darwin Scheduler

Darwin Scheduler allows you to optimize pump operations. By using genetic algorithm optimization to control nominated pumps during an extended period simulation (EPS), it avoids a manual trial and error approach to finding the most efficient operating schedule. Solutions and costs calculated using Darwin Scheduler can be exported back to the selected scenario.

The dialog consists of:

A toolbar.

A list pane that displays all of the Scheduler Studies Optimized Runs, and Solutions.

The toolbar consists of the following controls:

New: Opens a submenu containing the following commands:
- New Scheduler Study: Creates a new Scheduler Study in the list pane.
- New Optimized Run: Creates a new Optimized Run under the Scheduler Study that is currently highlighted in the list pane.
Delete: Deletes the item that is currently highlighted in the list pane.
Rename: Allows you to rename the item that is currently highlighted in the list pane.
Compute: Opens a submenu containing the following commands:
- Compute: Computes the optimized run that is currently highlighted in the list pane.
- Resume: Resumes the incomplete optimized run that is currently highlighted in the list pane.
Export to Scenario: Opens the Export to Scenario dialog, allowing you to define the export settings.
Report: Opens a preformatted report containing the data for the currently highlighted solution.
Graph: Opens a graph containing the data for the currently highlighted solution.
Help: Opens the online help.
