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
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
