Once a scenario is completely defined, it can be run with the run button. A
message Running ..... will indicate the status, an optional eMail message
will indicate completion for registered user with their eMail stored in the
user data base.
Optimization results
When the set of runs specified by the user is completed, the results page
(also accessible from the corresponding button) will be shown.
The results list the summary over the set of model runs with the average
application rate and associated investment and operating costs for each
emission source or source class. The columns %min and &max indicate
the minimum and maximum remaining emissions (as % of the original
uncontrolled emissions) from the corresponding source.
The button details generates a ranked listing of the model runs
(alternatives) with a set of four (user selected) criteria displayed, the last
one associated with a graphical representation (color coded horizontal bar)
to symbolize the criteria value. The list can be sorted (ascending or
descending) for any one of the criteria displayed.
Selecting any individual alternative from the list will display its specific
results, i.e., the various technology application rates, cost, and associated
emission reduction.
Post-optimal analysis
To analyse the set of alternatives generated, the data can be exported
to DMC a discrete multi-criteria DSS tool.
The buttonexport will export a data set if results have been generated;
The button DMC will directly lead to the corresponding DMC scenario.
 DMC: discrete multi-criteria
The DMC tool is an interactive discrete, multi criteria optimization system,
using a reference point approach and normalization of the decision space
between nadir and uotpia.
The sets of alternatives to analyze can either be:
1. imported as a set from WRM optimization scenarios (use the button:
DMC" after a successful optimization run at the optimization
scenario overview level to export the feasible alternatives
generated);
2. imported individually from WRM model runs;
3. imported from a CSV file (exported from a spreadsheet)
