TCC Outfall Efficiency Report

Report Description

The TCC Outfall Efficiency Report calculates the percentage of outfall to inflow within a specific channel during the report period. This provides a measure of how efficiently TCC is distributing water to the channel.

Report Parameters and Options

Parameter Description

Channel Name

Name of the channel on which the offtake regulator is located. This field is automatically populated when you select an offtake regulator.

Note that the channel name is stored as an attribute of a regulator. View the regulator properties if you need to find a channel name.

Offtake Regulator

Offtake regulator that defines the inflow location for the report

Outfall Regulators

Specify one or more outflow regulators supplied by the offtake regulator. Use the Add and Remove tools to manage the list of outfall regulators.

Start/End Date

Specify a date range for the report

Outfall/Inflow Threshold

Specify an acceptable threshold. Only percentage variations for the total outfall that exceed this threshold will be reported. Set this value to zero to show all variations.

Report Output

The output includes the following three tables, and a sign-off performance acceptance form:

Outfall to Inflow Volume

This table shows the ratio of outfall to inflow for the reporting period for each outfall regulator individually and as a total.

Property Description

Channel Name

Channel where the offtake regulator is located

Offtake Site

Offtake regulator selected for this report. This is the inflow source location for the report

Volume

Total volume through the offtake regulator during the reporting period

Outfall Site

One or more outfall sites downstream of the offtake regulator.

A warning message will be displayed if the offtake regulators were not in Upstream Level control mode throughout the reporting period. An offtake in Upstream Level control mode will automatically pass any excess volume downstream to maintain the upstream level setpoint.

Volume

Volume that flowed through each of the outfall regulators during the report period

Percent Outfall to Inflow

Outfall volume as a percentage of the inflow volume at the channel offtake.

Regulators Taken Out of TCC

This table notes any periods during which any of the regulators on the channel were taken out of TCC mode. This may include regulators other than the offtake and outflow regulators.

Property Description

Site

Regulator name

Start/End Date

Start and end date of the period when the regulator was not in TCC mode

Duration

Duration of the non-TCC period

Control Mode Change

Control mode during the non-TCC period

Outfalls with Change of Control Mode

This table notes any periods during which any of the outlets on the channel had a change of control mode or setpoint value.

Property Description

Site

Outlet name

Start/End Date

Start and end date of the change period

Duration

Duration of the change period

Control Mode Change

Control mode to which the outlet was changed

Setpoint Change

Setpoint value change
