Cost for Tank

Hello

The ‘Cost’ value for Tank Energy Cost Results, I can not understand how is calculated. I guessed It has to be the same value as ‘Energy Cost’ for related Pumps, but I was wrong.

How does WaterGEMS calculate Cost for Tanks? And what is correlation between Energy Use Cost of Pumps and Cost of related Tanks?

  • I'm a bit unclear on your question, but if I understand correctly, the answer is yes. The program basically estimates the cost (negative or positive) of a tank based on the energy cost of pumps in the model.

    To summarize the Support Solution article that Terry provided, the energy cost tool first considers the total pumped volume and total energy cost of all pumps, which gives you an average cost per unit volume. This is then used along with the volume difference between the beginning and ending tank HGL to provide a cost estimate associated with that volume change.

    If this doesn't help, please provide some background on what you need the "stored energy" figure for.
