Description
Allocate a supplied battery degradation cost to throughput energy.
Energy prices and charges depend on energy units, demand units, standing-charge days, tariff periods and settlement sign conventions. Purchased-energy losses differ from delivered-energy fractions, and signed prices can produce negative monetary terms. Nominal battery cost allocations are supplied scenarios rather than physical aging forecasts.
Allocate a supplied battery degradation cost to throughput energy.
When to use this tool
Use Battery Throughput Degradation Cost when you already have throughputEnergy, suppliedCostPerThroughputUnit and need to allocate a supplied battery degradation cost to throughput energy.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter throughputEnergy, suppliedCostPerThroughputUnit. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read allocatedDegradationCost. Use the output convention below.
Require throughputEnergy and cost per throughput unit>=0; multiply them.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| throughputEnergy | Nonnegative throughput in the same charging/discharging counting basis as the supplied cost. | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| suppliedCostPerThroughputUnit | Supplied Cost Per Throughput Unit | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| allocatedDegradationCost | Allocated Degradation Cost | Required. Finite number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- Throughput basis must match the supplied cost, including any charge/discharge counting convention. No aging, lifetime, state of health or physical degradation is predicted.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Reconcile the actual meter series, tariff, contract and billing definitions for an account or market question. Use a complete cash-flow or physical-energy model when needed; a single block overlap, index ratio or supplied settlement term cannot establish actual charges or performance.
