Product Update – Hydro

Greetings,

There have been a few changes to Ansergy’s hydro reports, and we’ll be releasing several product updates on each group.  The significant changes are summarized below:

  • COE Energy

    – this is a new report which publishes corps energy data and includes Spinning Reserve and Capacity for selected projects. Energy, as you know, is released by the Corps on a week-delayed basis; Ansergy extrapolates the missing data (current week) and publishes energy through last hour, updated hourly. A separate Product Update will be released describing how to use this new feature.

  • Snow & Precip

    – We have merged the two legacy snow reports into one. The new snow report returns data at a River Basin, Production Basin, and Hub levels and includes current amounts, average, and anomalies for both Precip and SWE. A separate Product Update will be released describing how to use this new feature.

  • Flow Forecasts

    – Like the NWRFC’s STP, Ansergy offers a flow forecast. Unlike the RFC, Ansergy’s projections are for the entire WECC and extend out through the Water Year (Sep 30, 2018). These estimates are updated daily and viewable Hourly, Daily, or by Month. The Flow Forecast Report is the same as the old “Hydro Solution,” now it has a new name.  A separate Product Update will be released describing how to use this new feature.

  • Hydro-Energy Forecasts

    – This report projects the Ansergy hydro energy forecast out hourly, daily, or monthly and breaks out the Slice component by Production Basin. This dataset replaces the legacy Slice Forecast.  A separate Product Update will be released describing how to use this new feature.

  • Water Supply 

    – Again, a replacement to the legacy report. Now you can match the RFC’s forecast to Ansergy’s (independently computed) for 23 Mid-C Production Basins (40 WECC). All RFC periods are now included (Feb-Sep, Mar-Aug, etc.). We have also incorporated a new water supply algorithm inside the model. A separate Product Update will be released describing how to use this new feature. This report will be released next week and will have a Product Update.

If you have any questions feel free to contact us. We will be using the above reports in a new Emailed Report, “Hydro Northwest” and “Hydro California”. If you have legacy dashboards, you’ll want to update those or have Garrett or Bill make you some.

Regards,
