Guide ResSim

This document summarizes new capabilities and enhancements in version 3.0 of the HEC-ResSim reservoir operation modeling software. Key additions include the ability to define period average flow limits, use if-then-else conditional statements in rules, incorporate user-scripted state variables and rules, allocate releases across multiple outlets, model system-wide hydropower targets, and enable pump-back storage between reservoirs. A user-defined report builder is also introduced to customize model output. Version 3.0 is expected to be publicly released in winter 2005.
