The Energy tab of the Time & WQ Simulation Settings dialog box provides default values used to compute pumping energy and cost, when no specific energy parameters are assigned to a given pump. The following Energy Settings apply:
•Pump Efficiency (%): Default pump efficiency.
•Energy Price (per kWh): Price of energy per kilowatt-hour. Monetary units are not explicitly represented.
•Demand Charge (per max kW usage): Additional energy charge per maximum kilowatt usage.
•Price Pattern No: Number of a time pattern used to represent variations in energy price with time. Leave blank, if not applicable.
The above values can be overridden by editing the properties of a specific pump.
