>> POWER (CHANGE/DELTA)
Parent Command
> OBSERVATION
Subcommand
>>> SINK
Description
This command selects as an observation type the power generated by a power plant operated at a given separator pressure. This power plant receives fluid from one or several geothermal production wells, whose sink names are listed using command >>> SINK. The pressure at the separator is provided using command >>>> REAL: sep_pres. Given the total mass flow rate and enthalpy produced by all the wells, a steam fraction under separator pressure conditions is calculated and multiplied by the steam mass rate. The user must provide a conversion factor that relates the msteam mass flow rate the power produced. Power is only calculated is a negative production rate is specified.
Example
> OBSERVATION
>> POWER
>>> SINK: WEL_1 + 5
>>>> ANNOTATION : Power [MW]
>>>> FACTOR : 1.6 [MW] - [kg/s]
>>>> REAL : 9.0E5 [Pa], separator pressure
>>>> NO DATA
>>>> WEIGHT : 1.0
