Calculates the power production using the hydropower equation
This recorder saves an array of the hydrpower production in each timestep. It can be converted to a dataframe after a model run has completed. It does not calculate total energy production. API Reference
Name | Description | Required |
---|---|---|
water_elevation_parameter | Elevation of water entering the turbine. The difference of this value with the turbine_elevation gives the working head of the turbine | Required |
turbine_elevation | Elevation of the turbine itself. The difference between the water_elevation and this value gives the working head of the turbine | Required |
efficiency | The efficiency of the turbine | Optional |
density | The density of water | Optional |
flow_unit_conversion | A factor used to transform the units of flow to be compatible with the equation here. This should convert flow to units of | Optional |
energy_unit_conversion | A factor used to transform the units of total energy. Defaults to 1e-6 to return | Optional |
