If your power consumption for computing is less than 1 MWh/month, you gotta pump up those numbers

Please set Debug=1 in the [PrimeNet] section of prime.txt. If this happens again, send me the prime.log file.

:tu:

This prompted me to estimate my use. Well done!

1,000 kWh a month? I neither have the ability nor inclination to burn this much. This would be 130 USD per month as well. Besides, the local constabulary would be at my door wanting to see if I was running a grow-house.

1 MWh/month is only a single 15 amp circuit running at 75% (1350 watts). I use the same amount just for air conditioning in my apartment (I like it cool).

Are you sure about that energy consumption value? Your breaker 15 Amps (Single phase) limit will only allow you 2,592 kWh/month (V=240V, 30 days, full load).

Correct. People still confuse MW (respective kW) with MWh (respective kWh).

One megawatt is one megawatt, while one megawatt-hour is about 1380 watts :razz:
(yeah, I know, power is not energy, don't jump on me! hihi)

He's in US, V=120.

Forgot he was in USA, cut my value in half, full load 1,296 kWh/month.

You know what is interesting with you guys is that with your energy bills against cooling degree days you can model your house energy consumption so you can see your base loads and where you can save some money. Of course if you have one heating season and one cooling season you will have to model your house consumption in function of cooling and heating degree days together or split them. Base temperature for CDD and HDD will have to be analysed. Here for U.K. buildings HDD base temperature is 15.5 degC and for cooling it depends of the system, Data Centre CDD 0 degC, Air handling system 10-12 degC. Final base temperature depends on the final data analysis of the regression model and statistic analysis of the data (accuracy, level of confidence, t-student, etc).

Apologies for the off topic.

Which is 1.3MWh, and he said 75%. :smile:

Anyhow, as I posted repeatedly in the past, I really envy you guys living in cold climate, haha. (grrr... where's the smiley with the green envy face??)
