Full Description

Spreadsheets such as Excel and Lotus have enjoyed a tremendous amount of popularity in the water industry. To enhance spreadsheet capabilities, add-ins or supplemental programs are developed and integrated into the spreadsheets by users or specialized third-party vendors. This paper discusses the efforts of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWDSC) to incorporate commercially available add-ins as optimization tools (linear programming, non-linear programming and genetic algorithms), with spreadsheet models used for distribution system planning and scheduling. Includes 3 references.
