Control Number: 98
Course Number: 35RSA01A
Length:36
CEUs: 0.0 PDHs: 0.0 LUs: 0.0 PDUs: 0.0 CMs: 0.0 ACE: 0.0 CEHs: 0.0
Purpose:
This course provides participants with the capability to perform reservoir system studies using the HEC-ResSim reservoir operations simulation software. After completing the course, students will be able to use HEC-ResSim to build, modify, and run reservoir models and analyze results
Description:
HEC-ResSim is reservoir operation simulation software that can be used to model individual or systems of reservoirs. It is typically used by USACE for planning studies and real-time simulation of reservoir operations for flood control, water supply, hydropower and multipurpose operation. This course incudes a mix of lectures and workshops. Materials cover the basic principles for simulating reservoir systems, including authorized purposes, operational goals, physical and operational data requirements, and analysis considerations. Students will gain hands-on experience in building a ResSim model from scratch, interpreting operational objectives into model parameters, running simulations, and viewing/analyzing results. Advanced topics such as system demands, hydropower, operating for downstream objectives, and developing scripts will also be introduced.
Prerequisites:
Nominees must be assigned (a) Occupational Series: Selected 0800 and 1300; (b) Grade: GS-07 or above. A basic level of understanding is required in hydrology, hydraulics, and reservoir regulation. In addition, it is strongly recommended that course participants be in positions where they will be involved in reservoir system studies within the next year or two.
