Calculation method
Calculation method
Seasonal energy (kWh)
Apply supplied operating limits to flow-duration bins; integrate ρgQHη with constant efficiency and head.
Unused water volume (m³)
Apply supplied operating limits to flow-duration bins; integrate ρgQHη with constant efficiency and head.
Used flow by season (JSON)
Apply supplied operating limits to flow-duration bins; integrate ρgQHη with constant efficiency and head.

Assumptions & limits
Assumptions & limits
- User-supplied measurements and assumptions; Apply supplied operating limits to flow-duration bins; integrate ρgQHη with constant efficiency and head. Supported limits: Finite numeric values bounded to 1e9 magnitude; lists and tables contain 1–100 records unless a stricter bound is stated. Inputs use the units shown. Lists explicitly paired by a method must have matching lengths; independent polynomial coefficient vectors may differ. Respect stated physical, interpolation, policy and computational domain limits.
