Input Parameters

Calculation Results

Calculation Formula

Value of Lost Load = (Power Consumption × Cost per kWh × Lost Hours) × (1 - Efficiency Loss / 100)

Where:
Power Consumption: Total energy used (kWh)
Cost per kWh: Cost of energy per kilowatt-hour ($)
Lost Hours: Time period of lost production (hours)
Efficiency Loss: Percentage of energy not converted to useful work (%)

Result

Value of Lost Load: $0.00

Learn how to use the Value of Lost Load Calculator and its working principles

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the power consumption in kilowatt-hours (kWh)
  2. Input the cost per kWh in your local currency
  3. Specify the number of hours the load was lost
  4. Provide the efficiency loss percentage (if any)
  5. Click the "Calculate" button to get the value of lost load

Understanding the Formula

The calculator uses the following formula to determine the value of lost load:

Value of Lost Load = (Power Consumption × Cost per kWh × Lost Hours) × (1 - Efficiency Loss / 100)

This formula accounts for the total energy lost, its cost, and any efficiency losses during the production process.
