Torque Audit Energy Load with torque audit station connected load of 8.75 kW: a worked example

What does the result look like when torque audit station connected load reaches 8.75 kW? The full calculation is worked below with real intermediate numbers. a micromobility quality team needs to estimate energy cost for torque audit stations or powered quality benches

The inputs for this scenario

  • Torque audit station connected load: 8.75 kW (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 3.5)
  • Torque audit station runtime: 8 hr (unchanged)
  • Blended electricity rate: 0.14 $ / kWh (unchanged)
  • Vehicles or assemblies audited: 260 audits (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Torque audit energy cost = torque audit station load × torque audit runtime × blended electricity rate) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 70 kWh for torque audit energy used, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 9.8 $ for torque audit energy cost.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 0.04 $ / audit for energy cost per torque audit.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 1.23 $ / hr for hourly torque audit energy cost.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where torque audit station connected load sits at 3.5 kW and the headline result is 28 kWh, this scenario comes in 150% above the baseline at 70 kWh.
  • A figure at this level is achievable when torque audit station connected load is genuinely sustained, not just peaked for a shift. It assumes the station draws its full connected load for the entire runtime, so for equipment that idles or cycles between audits the real energy will be lower than the nameplate-based estimate.

Results at a glance

  • Torque audit energy used: 70 kWh (headline result)
  • Torque audit energy cost: 9.8 $
  • Energy cost per torque audit: 0.04 $ / audit
  • Hourly torque audit energy cost: 1.23 $ / hr
