Insight Replicate Runner

Overview

The Insight Replicate Runner is a combination of the Insight Runner and the Replicate Runner. It does an Insight run where each population individual is run multiple times using an ensemble of time-series inputs. The runner can be used, for example, to optimise an eWater Source model with a range of alternative climate data inputs and decision variables.

There are two means of specifying the time series ensembles:

1. Generating variants of an existing time series using the Time Series Cycle Creator (TSCC)
2. Loading a set of pre-generated time-series, using the Insight Runner

eWater Source Project Setup

To run a Insight Replicate job, the eWater Source project must already be created with the time-series to be cycled loaded in Data Sources. See Replicate Runner for details. An Insight config.txt file must also be included, see Configuring an Insight Optimisation Run. Specifying time-series for multiple runs is not supported by the Insight Replicate Runner as the setting will be overwritten by the generated cycled time-series data.

Once configured, the eWater Source project, CSV files (containing the time series to be replicated), and Insight config.txt file must be placed in a ZIP file.
