EPyT-Flow is available on PyPI and can be installed via pip install epyt-flow:

[2]:
%pip install epyt-flow --quiet
Note: you may need to restart the kernel to use updated packages.

Create two simple control modules (i.e. entries in the “CONTROL” section of an .inp file) for controlling pump “9” based on the water leven in tank “2”:

  • LINK 9 OPEN IF NODE 2 BELOW 110

  • LINK 9 CLOSED IF NODE 2 ABOVE 140

Note that all simple control modules must be instances of SimpleControlModule.

[4]:
# LINK 9 OPEN IF NODE 2 BELOW 110
my_control_1 = SimpleControlModule(link_id="9",
                                   link_status=ActuatorConstants.EN_OPEN,
                                   cond_type=EpanetConstants.EN_LOWLEVEL,
                                   cond_var_value="2",
                                   cond_comp_value=110.)
[5]:
# LINK 9 CLOSED IF NODE 2 ABOVE 140
my_control_2 = SimpleControlModule(link_id="9",
                                   link_status=ActuatorConstants.EN_CLOSED,
                                   cond_type=EpanetConstants.EN_HILEVEL,
                                   cond_var_value="2",
                                   cond_comp_value=140.)

Create new simulation based on Net1:

[6]:
sim = ScenarioSimulator(scenario_config=load_net1(verbose=False))

Set simulation duration to two days:

[7]:
sim.set_general_parameters(simulation_duration=to_seconds(days=2))

Monitor states of tank “2” and pump “9”:

[8]:
sim.set_tank_sensors(sensor_locations=["2"])
sim.set_pump_state_sensors(sensor_locations=["9"])

Note that Net1.inp contains some simple controls. Remove all of them by calling remove_all_simple_controls():

[9]:
sim.remove_all_simple_controls()

Add our simple control modules by calling add_simple_control():

[10]:
sim.add_simple_control(my_control_1)
sim.add_simple_control(my_control_2)

Run the simulation and show sensor readings over time:

[11]:
scada_data = sim.run_simulation()
[12]:
scada_data.plot_pumps_state()
../_images/examples_simple_control_example_20_0.png
[12]:
<Axes: xlabel='Time (60min steps)', ylabel='Pump state'>
[13]:
scada_data.plot_tanks_water_volume()
../_images/examples_simple_control_example_21_0.png
[13]:
<Axes: xlabel='Time (60min steps)', ylabel='Water volume in $feet^3$'>

Do not forget to close the simulation!

[14]:
sim.close()
