Escalator Energy Consumption Calculator
Actual electrical input powers×disjoint elapsed hours sumWh, not gravitational-load-only estimate or manufacturer performance. Actual independently established compatible SI units/model context; conditional arithmetic, not code compliance, engineering design or safe operation approval.
Description
Recorded electrical energy combines input power with the duration of each disjoint interval.
Recorded electrical energy combines input power with the duration of each disjoint interval.1
This tool totals supplied escalator watt-hours without inferring power from passenger loads.
When to use Escalator Energy Consumption Calculator
Use this tool to total supplied escalator watt-hours without inferring power from passenger loads.
How to use Escalator Energy Consumption Calculator and how it works
- Prepare actualEscalatorInputWattsByInterval, actualIntervalHours, with the units, conventions and assumptions below.
- Enter the required fields and run Escalator Energy Consumption Calculator.
- Read result.value using the output definitions below.
- Correct any rejected inputs and rerun; interpret the result within the stated model and its assumptions.
| Input field | Meaning | Value type | Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| actualEscalatorInputWattsByInterval | Actual Escalator Input Watts By Interval. Use the units and matching context stated in the calculation below. | array of number | Required; other constraints below |
| actualIntervalHours | Actual Interval Hours. Use the units and matching context stated in the calculation below. | array of number | Required; other constraints below |
Supply aligned nonempty arrays of nonnegative power in watts and positive duration in hours. Sum power*duration and return watt-hours. The caller establishes operating intervals; overlapping intervals and standby or regeneration accounting are not detected.
energyWattHours=sum(powerWatts_i*durationHours_i) Apply the input ordering, units and branch conditions stated above.
| Output field | Meaning | Value type |
|---|---|---|
| result | Object containing the calculated or selected fields below. | object |
| result.value | Accounted electrical energy in watt-hours. | number |

}Limitations and assumptions
The calculation uses the supplied observations and model inputs. It does not collect measurements, select a reference population or coefficient, or establish that the model applies to the actual case. The stated branch conditions and output units remain part of the result.
All fields require explicit values. Unexpected fields, wrong types, nonfinite numbers and sparse arrays are rejected. Alignment, bounds and supported-token rules are explained above; extremely large inputs or nonfinite results can also fail. Input errors differ from successful false comparisons, unavailable-domain flags and empty match lists.
