Simahpp Editions
SIMAHPP ist ein Multi-Site-Multifunktions-Simulator, der dazu dient, eine Vielzahl von Problemen zu lösen, um Durchflussmengen zu bestimmen und eine geeignete Wasserturbine zu wählen. Auch kann SIMAHPP helfen, die Betriebszeit in einem Jahr zu optimieren und die jährliche Energieproduktion zu maximieren. Es bearbeitet Energieeinnahmen, Schätzungsinvestitionen und damit verbundene Kosten. Es ermittelt Amortisationsraten, das Net Present Value (NPV), die internen Rendite (IRR), den Amortisationszeitraum und das CO2-Emissionsminderungspotential. SIMAHPP Professional bietet viel flexible Simulationsmöglichkeiten und integriert ein neues Modul zur Sensitivitätsanalyse.
Die Ergebnisse weisen detaillierte Ergebnisanalysen (tabellarisch und grafisch) auf und basieren auf drei Schlüsselparametern: hydraulische, finanzielle und ökologische Parameter. Das Sensitivitätsanalyse-Modul hilft, erhaltene Informationen an den gewünschten Bereich von Schlüsselparametern und Investitionskosten weiterzuleiten und anzupassen.
Mit SIMAHPP haben die Anwender die volle Kontrolle über alle Eingabeparameter verschiedener Projektszenarien und -möglichkeiten und können Ergebnisse mit einer Vielzahl von Analysen und grafischen Demonstrationen sehen. Das Programm hat fünf Hauptabschnitte: erweiterte Dateimanager, Projektoptionen, Hydraulik-, Finanz- und Umweltmodule und der Simulator.

Financial evaluation
With SIMAHPP Professional, users can determine the feasibility of the project based on the simulation results such as:
- Investment costs
- Net Present Value (NPV)
- Internal Rate of Return (IRR)
- Amortization plan on yearly or monthly basis
- Payback period
- Investment costs per system capacity
- Carbon market revenue, etc.
Hydraulic evaluation
On the technical aspect, SIMAHPP calculates:
- Design flow
- Power for a wide range of system efficiency
- Maximized energy production using optimized system operation period
- Appropriate turbine type for the simulated hydropower system
Environmental evaluation
From the environmental point of view, SIMAHPP 4 calculates the carbon emission reduction potential of the project based of user’s specific situations and conversion parameters.
