Why does my Sandustry factory run out of power?
Compare total measured generation with machine demand and check whether Hydrogen supply or stored energy is limiting the system.
ENERGY / FACTORY
Sandustry Energy Calculator: Balance Power and Hydrogen
Is your Sandustry factory producing enough energy to keep every machine running? Enter your measured generation, factory demand, Hydrogen supply and current storage to review the power balance. Use the result to plan generation and storage around your actual factory needs.
Measured power balance
Use one consistent interval for every rate.
Enter your measured values and calculate the balance.
Enter generation and demand
Add the number of Turbines and Fuel Cells, their measured output and the Hydrogen available over the selected interval. Enter factory demand using the same interval so the comparison is meaningful.
Plan stored energy
Include your current stored energy, Power Bricks, Power Cells and the amount of energy you want to store. The calculator helps you see whether the plan covers demand and the storage target.
Frequently asked questions
Can I include Fuel Cells and Hydrogen?
Yes. Enter Fuel Cell output, Hydrogen use and available Hydrogen for the same interval.
Does this use a universal machine output?
No. Enter the measured values from your setup.
