RATE

INSTALLATIONS / [...] / ENERGY_USAGE_MODEL / RATE

Description

This can be used in three ways:

• Used to define the rate for some ENERGY_USAGE_MODEL types using an Expression
• Used defining the units of a PUMP and COMPRESSOR CHARTS.
• From eCalc v8.8: Used to define the rate for EMISSION in VENTING_EMITTERS

Format

RATE: <rate expression>

    - NAME: <model name>
      TYPE: <pump or compressor type>
      ...
      UNITS:
        RATE: <AM3_PER_HOUR>
        ...

Example

RATE: SIM1:GAS_PROD

    - NAME: pump
      TYPE: PUMP_CHART_VARIABLE_SPEED
      ...
      UNITS:
        RATE: <AM3_PER_HOUR>
        ...

Use in EMISSIONS for VENTING_EMITTERS (from eCalc v8.8)

The keywords VALUE and CATEGORY are required, while UNIT and TYPE are optional.

For venting emitters of TYPE DIRECT_EMISSION (from eCalc v8.13): Allowed values for UNIT are KG_PER_DAY and TONS_PER_DAY, while STREAM_DAY and CALENDAR_DAY are valid for TYPE.

For venting emitters of TYPE OIL_VOLUME (from eCalc v8.13): Only allowed value for UNIT is SM3_PER_DAY

Example with venting emitter of TYPE DIRECT_EMISSION:

Format

VENTING_EMITTERS:
  - NAME: <emitter name>
    CATEGORY: <category>
    TYPE: <emission type>
    EMISSIONS:
      - NAME: <emission name>
        RATE:
          VALUE: <emission rate>
          UNIT: <emission rate unit, default KG_PER_DAY>
          TYPE: <emission rate type, default STREAM_DAY>

Example

VENTING_EMITTERS:
  - NAME: SomeVentingEmitter
    CATEGORY: COLD-VENTING-FUGITIVE
    TYPE: DIRECT_EMISSION
    EMISSIONS:
      - NAME: CH4
        RATE:
          VALUE: 4
          UNIT: KG_PER_DAY
          TYPE: STREAM_DAY
