SUSTAINABLE OASIS TOOLS
Energy Balance Calculator
Compare energy generation, consumption and recovered energy to understand the operating balance of an Oasis.
This tool helps distinguish between producing enough energy, consuming efficiently and recovering useful energy from existing system flows.

Data status: ESTIMATED
Use SO-EMS measurements when real input/output meters become available.
ENERGY PROFILE
Calculate the system balance.
Energy resilience requires understanding both supply and demand.

ENERGY FLOW
Follow every watt-hour.
Sustainable Oasis energy experiments should eventually account for energy entering, leaving, being stored and being recovered.

MEASURE
Generate
Measure energy produced by solar, wind, hydro or another source.
Consume
Track exactly how much energy real loads require.
Recover
Measure useful energy returned through legitimate recovery processes.
Balance
Compare all flows using the same energy unit and measurement period.
