POWERLOSSFACTOR

INSTALLATIONS / [...] / ENERGY_USAGE_MODEL / POWERLOSSFACTOR

Description

A factor that may be added to account for power line losses. E.g. if you have a subsea installation with a power line to another installation, there may be line losses. For a power line loss of 5%, POWERLOSSFACTOR is set to 0.05 and the power required from the power source (generator set) will be

$$power_{required} = \frac{power_{subsea}}{1-POWERLOSSFACTOR}$$

where $power_{subsea}$ is the power calculated from the energy function (before power loss is taken into account).
