[Equest-users] Developing "cook book" utility rates for eQuest

[Paul Riemer]

John,

In the Site/Project/Utility Component block of the DD wizard, the Electric and Gas Utility Rate Charges screens each have a disk icon to allow saving of the rate structures.  Do it once then the next time you use the DD wizard, they will be there to select on the General Information screen.  I believe the rate folder files are only available from within the wizard to be pulled into the wizard created inp file.  I do not believe you can reference them like a library item.

Hi Folks:

Something I haven't done yet.

One apparently can "cook up" canned electric, gas, oil, steam (etc) rates in eQuest and place them in the Rates folder for use at any time. I understand that .ewr is electric and .gwr is gas. I have not seen any other rates extensions allowed.

Has anyone built their own library of rates? Do you develop the rates in an .INP file, cut out the rate to paste to another file, then give it an appropriate extension?

Hopefully a slow week for many, so perhaps an answer.
