UKWIR/Ofwat Capital Maintenance Planning Common Framework
MISER-SI will ensure full compliance with the principles of the Common Framework which requires Companies to demonstrate that investments are the most cost-effective means of maintaining or enhancing customer service objectives, taking into account Capex and Opex. Uncertainties in key inputs such as demand and initial reservoir levels can be taken into account separately by using the MISER-SR module which incorporates Monte Carlo simulation.
Optimising Asset Capacities
The initial sizing of schemes can be made easier by the use of existing MISER-S functionality - mini-max and maxi-min. This functionality can be used to determine the minimum required capacity of a link main, source or reservoir to meet a defined maximum demand. Alternative individual schemes can be evaluated easily by creating sub-models whilst leaving the base MISER model unchanged.
