Equation 1 · Part 3 · The Fifteen-Point-Six-Terawatt Number Is Real Arithmetic Built on the Wrong Fleet Size

Symbol H_w

F=L×HwHrF = \frac{L \times H_w}{H_r}
HwH_w

What this part means

the hours-worked bracket.

Its job in the formula

HwH_w occurs above the fraction bar. The numerator is divided by the entire denominator below it.

Where the article explains it

for fleet size F across all nine combinations of the labor-force total L , the hours-worked bracket HwH_w , and the duty-cycle-adjusted operating hours HrH_r , produces a range from about 0.76 billion units (90 percent duty cycle, 1,600 hours worked) to about 1.88 billion units (50 percent duty cycle, 2,200 hours worked), with a representative central case — 70 percent duty cycle, 1,750 hours worked — landing at roughly 1.07 billion units.

The passage around this formula

…6,132, and 4,380 operating hours per unit per year respectively. Solving the labor-hours ledger, F=L×HwHrF = \frac{L \times H_w}{H_r}. for fleet size F across all nine combinations of the labor-force total L , the hours-worked bracket HwH_w , and the duty-cycle-adjusted operating hours HrH_r , produces a range from about 0.76 billion units (90 percent duty cycle, 1,600 hours worked) to about 1.88 billion units (50 percent duty cycle, 2,200 hours worked), with a representative central case — 70 percent duty cycle, 1,750 hours worked…
