Diversion Pump Energy
The Diversion Pump Energy category is used to determine the Energy and Total Energy Cost based on the Diversion Intake Elevation, Outflow Elevation, Diversion, Pump Efficiency, and cost per Unit Energy. This method category is only available if Pumped Diversion is selected in the Available Flow category.
* None
This is the default method. It performs no energy calculations.
* Energy Equation and Cost
The Energy Equation and Cost method calculates Energy Consumption and Total Energy Cost. This method is only available when Pumped Diversion is selected in the Available Flow category.
