I need to plot energy baseline and i have Energy consumption in previous years and relevant variable but h can't plot energy baseline!
For example for pump station relevant variable are:
Monthly working hours
Monthly Power
Hi Hamed,
Perhaps the question needs to be reworded.
How is the data on what you call as power monthly available ? Is it average over the month, average over the monthly working hours, or some other form ?

Good day Hamed,
What do you mean by Energy Baseline? are you trying to plot a monthly energy consumption for the pump for the current year based on the available data of energy consumption from previous year? or your are trying to compare two set of pumps, a conventional one (to whom your trying to define a baseline) with a pump having higher levels of efficiency?
Can you elaborate more so I can provide you with an accurate answer?
In case you are trying to have a reference yearly energy consumption for a pump, the main challenge that you will be facing is concerning the load of the pump; during a year, a pump will work under several part loads, and peak load could be reached sometimes; so unless you are aware of the several regimes (or part-load conditions) under which your pump is working, do not try to base the current energy consumption on the energy consumption of the previous years.
On the other hand, dealing or just relying an power consumption is tricky and not straight forward.
In case you have the average monthly power consumption, you can multiply it with the working hours to get the monthly energy consumption; otherwise, in case you have the hourly power consumption, you need just to sum them up to get the daily then monthly energy consumption. But if what you have is the peak monthly power consumption, then your data will be irrelevant, since multiplying that power with the working hours will lead to an over estimate of the energy consumption.
I hope my answer will help you;
if you need additional questions do not hesitate to ask.

Patrick
Dear Hamed,
There is a difference between the base year (current accounts) and base line. When you talk about the base line it is understood that it is a scenario (pathway to the future) considering that current policies, technologies and practices will remain constant.
To use the data you have you can move your base year to the year from which you have available data. Then you can consider a growing energy consumption rate for the next years, keeping the behaviour of the energy consumption due to the pump use across the year.
I also agree with the comments of Patrick. You have to take care about how you calculate the annual energy consumption by considering the monthly power and monthly working hours.
Best regards,
Rafael
