Integrating Parameter Scenarios and Configuration Alternatives

In order to integrate parameter scenarios and configuration alternatives and to provide comprehensive evaluation features, a Scenario Manager has been included in the prototype decision support tool. The main feature of the Scenario Manager is the capability to combine parameter scenarios and design alternatives into comprehensive main scenarios for evaluation runs (cf. Fig. 48). The standardized reports introduced in the next chapter use these main scenarios to compare the results of different evaluation runs.

Additionally, the Scenario Manager allows the user to create network configuration restrictions from the results obtained in one of the calculation runs by copying the complete network configuration of a solution run into a set of design restrictions. The resulting configuration can then be as-
