HOMER Pro 3.16
The Hydrokinetic tab in the Simulation Results window contains the following output variables.
Variable |
Description |
Total rated capacity |
The nominal power output of the Hydrokinetic Component, in kW |
Mean Output |
The average power output of the Hydrokinetic Component over the year, in kW |
Capacity Factor |
The average power output of the Hydrokinetic Component divided by its nominal capacity |
Total production |
The total number of kWh produced by the Hydrokinetic Component over the year. |
Minimum Output |
The minimum power output of the Hydrokinetic Component over the year, in kW |
Maximum Output |
The maximum power output of the Hydrokinetic Component over the year, in kW |
Hydrokinetic Penetration |
The average power output of the Hydrokinetic Component divided by the average primary load |
Hours of Operation |
The number of hours of the year during which the hydro turbine output was greater than zero |
Levelized Cost |
The total annual production of the Hydrokinetic Component divided by its annualized cost. |
In the bottom half of the page a DMap shows the power output of the Hydrokinetic Component in each time step of the year.
