Calculates the total energy production using the hydropower equation from a model run.

This recorder saves the total energy production in each scenario during a model run. It does not save a timeseries or power, but rather total energy. API Reference

Attributes

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 $m3/day$	Optional
energy_unit_conversion	A factor used to transform the units of total energy. Defaults to 1e-6 to return $MJ$	Optional
