Final Functional Test Load with functional test rig connected load of 30 kW: a worked example in wearable medical sensors

What does the result look like when functional test rig connected load reaches 30 kW? The full calculation is worked below with real intermediate numbers. Use it when final functional test load in wearable medical sensors is up for an upgrade and you want a defensible savings story.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Functional test rig connected load: 30 kW (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 12)
  • Test rig runtime: 8 hr (unchanged)
  • Blended electricity rate: 0.12 $ / kWh (unchanged)
  • Sensors tested during runtime: 1,000 units (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Total final functional test load energy cost = final functional test load connected load × final functional test load runtime × blended electricity rate) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 240 kWh for final functional test load energy used, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 28.8 $ for total final functional test load energy cost.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 0.03 $ / piece for energy cost per kwh.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 3.6 $ / hr for hourly final functional test load energy cost.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where functional test rig connected load sits at 12 kW and the headline result is 96 kWh, this scenario comes in 150% above the baseline at 240 kWh.
  • A figure at this level is achievable when functional test rig connected load is genuinely sustained, not just peaked for a shift. Connected load is a nameplate/average figure; a rig with idle gaps or a variable duty cycle draws less than connected load times runtime, so treat the result as an upper-bound energy estimate.

Results at a glance

  • Final functional test load energy used: 240 kWh (headline result)
  • Total final functional test load energy cost: 28.8 $
  • Energy cost per kWh: 0.03 $ / piece
  • Hourly final functional test load energy cost: 3.6 $ / hr
