Reservoir
Class Description
A water storage facility within a hydro system, including: ponds, lakes, lagoons, and rivers. The storage is usually behind some type of dam.
Attributes
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| activeStorageCapacity | Volume | Storage volume between the full supply level and the normal minimum operating level. |
| energyStorageRating | Float | The reservoir's energy storage rating in energy for given head conditions. |
| fullSupplyLevel | WaterLevel | Full supply level, above which water will spill. This can be the spillway crest level or the top of closed gates. |
| grossCapacity | Volume | Total capacity of reservoir. |
| normalMinOperateLevel | WaterLevel | Normal minimum operating level below which the penstocks will draw air. |
| riverOutletWorks | String | River outlet works for riparian right releases or other purposes. |
| spillTravelDelay | Seconds | The spillway water travel delay to the next downstream reservoir. |
| spillWayGateType | String | Type of spillway gate, including parameters. |
| spillwayCapacity | Float | The flow capacity of the spillway in cubic meters per second. |
| spillwayCrestLength | Length | The length of the spillway crest. |
| spillwayCrestLevel | WaterLevel | Spillway crest level above which water will spill. |
