EPANET - Price Pattern

Time pattern used to represent changes in the price of energy used in pump over time

This pattern has the following properties:

• Identification
  • Description (Description, String) - Use a user-friendly description when the item name is not sufficient
  • Name (Name, String) - item name
    Avoid names that are too long or contain the following characters: '*', '>', '<', '/', '\', '"', ':', ';', '|', '=', '`', '#', ',', '?'
• Object
  • Priority (Priority, Enum) - Information regarding the item's current state. Can be:
    • Neutral: no issues
    • Critical: A problem preventing the calculation or use of the item
  • Error Evaluation (CurveError, Enum) Result of the data evaluation
  • Curve Data (CurveData, IListClonavel) - the curve data, with the following columns:
    • Period (Item, Integer) - data index
    • Value (Value, Double) - the value to be considered

The data are entered into the table and plotted on the graph for better visualization:

Each multiplier in the pattern is applied to the pump energy price to determine a time of day price for the corresponding period.

The price pattern is associated with pump by activity pump in Constructor from pressurized linear devices
