363 Operating Cost Models<br />

The energy value is multiplied by the energy price ($/kWh), and integrated over time to<br />

determine the total cost for aeration energy during the simulation.<br />

For blower energy costs, the head value represents the sum of the actual head and the<br />

piping headloss. There is no additional equipment headloss as with aeration energy costs.<br />

Miscellaneous Energy Cost<br />

The miscellaneous energy cost model describes the use of energy for various mechanical<br />

operations such as gates, arms, rakes, mixers, moving bridges, etc.<br />

Due to the complex nature of estimating these types of energy requirements, users are<br />

required to input a flat rate of energy usage (kW). This value is multiplied by the energy<br />

price ($/kWh) and integrated over time to determine the total cost for the simulation.<br />
