Ever wondered how to get those numbers from the electric network info pane into your circuit network?

Behold the Power Combinator!

This combinator type outputs power consumption and power production statistics of an electric network in watts as signals to the connected combinator networks. There are 2 tiers of Power Combinbators available. Following unique signals for the connected electric network are provided:

Tier 1

• current consumption rate (W)
• current production rate (W)
• maximal possible consumption rate (W)
• maximal possible production rate (W)
• internal prescaling factor X as user combinator setting for each Power Combinator in the form value = input × 1 / 10 ^ X for all values sent to the combinator network
• all five values sent to combinator network are custom signals

Tier 2

• adjustable filter as user combinator setting limits the electric statistics by selected entity type
• current consumption rate (W)
• current production rate (W)
• maximal possible consumption rate (W)
• maximal possible production rate (W)
• adjustable prescaling factor X as user combinator setting for each Power Combinator in the form value = input × 1 / 10 ^ X for all values sent to the combinator network
• all six values sent to combinator network are custom signals

For advanced accumulators capacity monitoring see our related project Capacity Combinator.

Notes

• the reference pictures are for the version 4.2.1 of the Power Combinator on Factorio 1.1.5
• the Power Combinator terminals are marked cyan for circuit network and yellow for copper wire connections
• the symbols on the reference pictures are: provider max. (PM), consumer max. (CM), provider current (P), consumer current (C), scaling factor (X)
• during underprovisioning of the electric network the demand is suddenly reported to be higher than expected. Although this seems to be same behavior as observed in the electric network statistics of factorio, the electric demand of the consumers seems to increase if underprovisioned and resets when P > C or P < PM are true for C demand
