General Description

Calculates the power production using the hydropower equation

This recorder saves an array of the hydrpower production in each timestep. It can be converted to a dataframe after a model run has completed. It does not calculate total energy production. API Reference

Attributes

Name	Description	Required
water_elevation_parameter	Elevation of water entering the turbine. The difference of this value with the turbine_elevation gives the working head of the turbine	Required
turbine_elevation	Elevation of the turbine itself. The difference between the water_elevation and this value gives the working head of the turbine	Required
efficiency	The efficiency of the turbine	Optional
density	The density of water	Optional
flow_unit_conversion	A factor used to transform the units of flow to be compatible with the equation here. This should convert flow to units of m3/day	Optional
energy_unit_conversion	A factor used to transform the units of total energy. Defaults to 1e-6 to return MJ	Optional
