Multiple Operating Profiles can be used within a scenario, enabling you to establish different revenue rates for different periods within the analysis. Profiles within scenarios define the production operating rate for a prescribed operating condition by allowing production output values to be added to an analysis. The analysis will then have a value to analyze asset ownership costs.
For example, assume that you have been tasked with determining the lifecycle costs of an air compressor. Your compressor will operate at one operating profile during the summer months and a second operating profile during the winter months, due to the greater density of air in winter. The two profiles allow the performance between two different time spans with different production rates to be captured.
