[Equest-users] How to create utility rate structure

[Nick Caton]

Hi Fareed,

 

You can set up block charges as described and other custom rates most
easily in the SD/DD wizards.  

 

If you're past the wizards and in detailed mode, I'd start a new file to
create the rates and assign them unique names, isolate the generated
rate lines in the .inp, then import the trimmed .inp into the target
project.  You could alternatively copy/paste the appropriate lines
manually into the target project's .inp.

 

Select '-custom-' gas and electric rates from that pulldown at the
General Information screen (first screen under Project / Site / Utility
button in DD wizard), then the appropriate screens will be available for
input.

Subject: [Equest-users] How to create utility rate structure

 

Hello All,

 

I am trying to create gas rate structure. I want to include delivery
charges for the first 500 m3 , Next 1,050 m3, Next 4,500 m3 so on,
transportation charge, gas supply charge, and cost adjustment.

 

Similarly I have to do that for electrical energy usage.

 

Can anyone help me on how to create this complex rate structure?

 

Thanks in advance.
