Evaluation

The operating head argument is looked up in the Operating Head column, of the Max Turbine Q table, of the power reservoir object argument, to determine the Turbine Capacity . If the exact operating head is not in the table, the lookup performs a linear interpolation between the two nearest bounding operating heads and their corresponding turbine capacities.

Mathematical Expression

Comments

If the object is not a power reservoir, the function aborts the run with an error. If the Power Reservoir does not have a Max Turbine Q table, plantPowerCalc must be selected as the powerCalculationCategory selected Method, or this function exits the rule with an early termination.
