Bonneville Dam aerial view on the columbia river by Kevin Wingert Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) is a nonprofit federal power marketing administration based in the Pacific Northwest. As of September 13, 2016, they have successfully operationalized the HERMES  IT infrastructure system, officially used for modeling the Federal Columbia River Power System.

RiverWare is the modeling tool used in this system for real-time operations and short-term planning and capacity studies, running from the Deltares Forecast Early Warning System (FEWS) environment.

This event culminates the 2.5-year project that CADSWES undertook to develop models and new software capabilities to meet BPA’s complex needs.
