This tab is part of the dialog that presents the properties of a power resource used in the process.
The properties of a power type consumed or generated, that this dialog allows you to edit are:
● Voltage: the voltage of electricity may be different from country to country, the default is 110V for USA.
● Purchasing Price: how much does the electricity cost to purchase per unit basis (default in kWh)
● Selling Price: the selling price of the power which is produced if any.
Other properties which are only available in this process file (do not exist in the power databank) and are exclusive to power which is produced from the process are the following:
● Revenue vs Credit: the generated power may be considered as revenue or as a credit to the whole operation of the plant. If a power type is a revenue it is included in the total annual revenues, and if it is a credit it may reduce the total annual operating cost of the plant.
● Recycling: the generated power can also be reused in the same process therefore reducing the cost of the total power consumed in a plant. The extent of power recycled can be set by setting a percentage in the relevant edit box.
