I have a model for municipal water system. I am setting up an EPS Scenario. The demand is created by entering customer meter demand which has the average daily demand (gpm), which was calculated by dividing the 24 hr. demand by 1440 minutes. I created pattern for 24 hours in one hour increments with a 'continuous format"
Question: Given this setup what does the multiplier multiply? Does the program use the average daily demand (gpm) and automatically convert to gallons per hour times the multiplier?
Thank You
It will multiply the base demand (in whatever units you have it in) into the current demand for that time step.
Thanks Tom
To add to Tom's reply - note that there is a slight difference in how the multiplication occurs for Stepwise vs. Continuous style patterns. See more in the following article from our Wiki: Demand calculation with Continuous vs Stepwise patterns
