Singapore DC-CFA2 full-load efficiency delta

At nominal 8.0 MW IT: 10.0 MW facility meets 1.25; 10.4 MW exceeds itmodeled

Value kindmodeled — Interpret this value according to its displayed kind, scope, source, and as-of date.
ScopeExact nominal teaching operands, not readings: 8.0 MW IT at 100% duty; 10.0/10.4 MW facility states, 0.4 MW difference, and 8,760 full-duty hours for a non-leap-year sensitivity. Show PUE to two significant figures and the energy penalty to one; use exact nominal ratios for the threshold comparison. Chapter 5.8 bounds the plant-state comparison; no load forecast or tariff is assumed.

SourceGuide assumptions and arithmetic, September 8, 2026; statutory/allocation criteria remain in their separate primary-source claims. · Appendix G, G-SG01: authored teaching assumptions and derivation awaiting publication with this batch; the canonical route identifies the chapter, not evidence that this case is already live.
DerivationUnrounded nominal comparisons: 10.0/8.0=1.25 ≤1.25; 10.4/8.0=1.30 >1.25. Both display about 1.3 to two significant figures. Crossover facility draw=8.0×1.25=10.0 MW. Annual sensitivity=0.4 MW×8,760 h=3,504 MWh=3.504 GWh, displayed about 4 GWh/year to the 0.4 MW input precision. The exact exercise energy-charge operand is 3,504,000 kWh times a constant marginal contract rate, not claimed billing accuracy; variable rates require hourly sums. Measurement uncertainty must establish a project’s actual margin.
