Introduction

This chapter is a reference section for functions and formulas used in energyPRO.

There are five areas in energyPRO containing formula fields. In each of those areas there is a set of standard mathematical functions and some specialized functions available. These areas are:

  • Time series functions
  • Demands
  • Energy Units
  • Economy (Revenues and operational expenditures)
  • Economy (Taxation)
  • Economy (Define annual key figures)

Function button

If functions are available, this is indicated by the Fx-button (Taxation and Define annual key figures excluded). Pressing this button invokes a window telling which functions are available for creating formulas.

General functions: The structure in this chapter is as follows. First, the general functions available in all or most of the formula fields in energyPRO is presented, see Functions, All. The general functions are the only functions available in “Time series functions” and “Demands”.

Time series functions: In Functions, Time series, the functions to be used in time series only are described.

Functions concerning load curves: In Functions, Load curves, the additional functions used for describing the production units load curves are presented. These functions describes how to access productions and consumptions on other production units

Functions concerning operational payments: In Functions, Expenditures, the functions available for defining Revenues and Operation Expenditures payments are described. Those functions are divided into three groups. In Functions, Expenditures, System border, the functions concerning energy conversion on system level are described. In Functions, Expenditures, Unit level, the functions concerning energy conversion on production unit level are described. In Functions, Expenditures, Demands, the functions concerning the different demands are described. Finally, Functions, Expenditures, Other, contains description of miscellaneous functions.

Functions concerning Taxation: In Functions, Taxation, the functions to be used for defining Taxation payments are described.

Functions concerning Annual key figures: Finally, in Functions, Annual key figures, the functions used to define “Annual key figures” are described.
