== Receiving Efficiency == | == Receiving Efficiency == | ||
The | * The Receiving efficiency decides how much energy is lost due to energy dissipation. The higher the receiving efficiency, the lower the energy dissipation is. | ||
* The Ray Receiver's efficiency can be increased with the [[Ray_Transmission_Efficiency_(Upgrade)|Ray Transmission Efficiency]] [[Upgrades|upgrade]]. The upgrades stack multiplicatively. | |||
* The current receiving efficiency can be seen on the right side in the upgrade tab of the research window. | |||
* The the first 6 Upgrades (small ones) reduce the energy loss by 10%, the seventh and the infinite ones (big ones) reduce it by 15%. | |||
* The continuous receiving bonus increases the actual efficiency even further. Although for values between 0% and 100% the math is very complicated, but at 100% continuous receiving it simplifies to a flat 40% decrease of any receiving losses. | |||
* Continuous receiving will ramp up by 5% in 60 seconds, and reach 100% after 20 minutes of uninterrupted receiving. | |||
====== '''The maximum receiving efficiency can be calculated as follows:''' ====== | |||
* <code>max receiving efficiency[%] = 100% - 70% * 0.9^small_upgrade_count * 0.85^big_upgrade_count</code> | |||
* <code>actual receiving efficiency[%] = 100% - 0.6 * solar ray basic energy dissipation[%]</code>, where | |||
* <code>solar ray basic energy dissipation[%] = 100% - max receiving efficiency[%]</code> | |||
====== '''Example for the Ray Transmission Efficiency level 10:''' ====== | |||
<code> | * Max receiving efficiency: <code>100% - 70% * 0.9^6 * 0.85^4 = '''80.58%'''</code> | ||
* Solar ray basic energy dissipation: <code>100% - max receiving efficiency = 19.42%</code> | |||
* Actual efficiency with '''100%''' continuous receiving: <code>100% - 0.6 * 19.42% = '''88.35%'''</code> | |||
====== The actual power draw on the [[Dyson Sphere]] can be calculated as such: ====== | |||
* <code>dyson_sphere_power_draw = energy_output / (100% - energy_dissipation)</code> | |||
====== Example: ====== | |||
* <code>120 MW energy_outout / (100% - 20% energy_dissipation) = 150 MW dyson_sphere_power_draw</code> | |||

* For planets with higher axial inclination, there is no such sweet spot. With the Planetary Ionosphere Utilization technology, however, the line-of-sight restriction is largely removed as long as the Ray Receivers have a supply of Graviton Lenses. | * For planets with higher axial inclination, there is no such sweet spot.

* Building Ray Receivers inside a Dyson Sphere, even just a single ring of frames at 0° Orbit Inclination, will cause the efficiency bonus to never degrade. This also works for a Dyson swarm as long as it is maintained. | * Building Ray Receivers inside a Dyson Sphere, even just a single ring of frames at 0° Orbit Inclination, will cause the efficiency bonus to never degrade.
