Determine power cost

Description

This function takes kW, % utilization, $/kWhr and determines power cost.

Usage

solvecost_power(power, utilization = 100, cost, time = "day")

Arguments

`power`	Power consumed in kW
`utilization`	Amount of time equipment is running in percent. Defaults to continuous.
`cost`	Power cost in $/kWhr
`time`	Desired output units, one of c("day", "month", "year"). Defaults to "day".

Value

A numeric value for power, $/time.

Examples

powercost <- solvecost_power(50, 100, .08)

library(dplyr)
cost_data <- tibble(
  power = seq(10, 50, 10),
  utilization = 80
) %>%
  mutate(costs = solvecost_power(power = power, utilization = utilization, cost = .08))
