Description
Gross up delivered energy for a supplied purchased-energy loss fraction.
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.
Gross up delivered energy for a supplied purchased-energy loss fraction.
When to use this tool
Use Grid Loss Energy Purchase Uplift when you already have deliveredEnergy, lossFraction and need to gross up delivered energy for a supplied purchased-energy loss fraction.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter deliveredEnergy, lossFraction. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read requiredPurchasedEnergy, lossEnergy. Use the output convention below.
Require deliveredEnergy>=0 and lossFraction in [0,1); purchased=delivered/(1-loss), loss=purchased-delivered.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| deliveredEnergy | Delivered Energy | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| lossFraction | Fraction of purchased energy lost, strictly below one; not a fraction of delivered energy. | Required. Finite number; minimum 0; strictly below 1. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| requiredPurchasedEnergy | Required Purchased Energy | Required. Finite number. |
| lossEnergy | Loss Energy | Required. Finite number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- Loss is a fraction of purchased energy, not delivered energy. No physical grid-loss model or billing allocation is inferred.
- 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.
