Loss¶
At a glance…¶
The loss node loses flow based on a provided flow-loss relationship.
[node.high_flow_loss]
type = loss
loc = 20, 30
table = 0, 0,
1000, 0,
2000, 500,
1e8, 1e7
ds_1 = node_below_loss
Node properties¶
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| [node.?] (compulsory) | Start of node declaration. This says we are creating a node, and also defines the name of the node. Node naming conventions are discussed at . Example: [node.high_flow_loss] |
| type (compulsory) | The node type, which is “loss” in this case. type = loss |
| loc (compulsory) | The location of the node in cartesian coordinates. Example: loc = 20, 30 |
| table (optional) | Loss table defines the relationship between the upsteam flow and the loss. Refer to this page to read more about in Kalix. Example: table = 0, 0, 1000, 0, 2000, 500, 1e8, 1e7 |
| ds_1 (optional) | Name of the downstream node. This property defines a downstream link. Inflow nodes may only have 1 downstream link. Example: ds_1 = my_other_node |
Results associated with this node¶
| Result | Description |
|---|---|
| dsflow | Total downstream flow (=ds_1) [ML] |
| usflow | Upstream flow [ML] |
| ds_1 | Downstream flow on link ds_1 [ML] |
| ds_1_order | Orders on the link ds_1 [ML] |
| loss | Amount of water lost at this node [ML] |
How the node works¶
The flow on the secondary link is determine by interpolating the provided splitter table. This volume is sent to ds_2, and the remainder of the flow is sent to ds_1.
loss=f(usflow)
ds1=usflow−loss
