Method Detail

convertDurationToMilliseconds

public static long convertDurationToMilliseconds(double timeSpan,
                                                 TimeUnit timeUnit)

Converts a duration with a specified TimeUnit to milliseconds.

Parameters:

timeSpan - the time span

timeUnit - the TimeUnit

Returns:

the long in milliseconds

convertDurationToMilliseconds

public static long convertDurationToMilliseconds(Duration duration)

Converts a duration to milliseconds. Will return 0 in case that the specified duration is null.

Parameters:

duration - the duration

Returns:

the long in milliseconds

convertDuration

public static double convertDuration(long timeSpanInMilliseconds,
                                     TimeUnit desiredTimeUnit)

Convert a duration of milliseconds into the specified TimeUnit.

Parameters:

timeSpanInMilliseconds - the time span in milliseconds

desiredTimeUnit - the desired time unit

Returns:

the double

convertEnergyFlowToWatt

public static double convertEnergyFlowToWatt(EnergyFlowInWatt energyflow)

Returns the value of the specified EnergyFlowInWatt into Watt (e.g 10 kW into 10.000 W).

Parameters:

energyflow - the energy

Returns:

the energy value in Watt

convertEnergyFlowInWatt

public static double convertEnergyFlowInWatt(double energyFlowValueInWatt,
                                             EnergyUnitFactorPrefixSI desiredUnit)

Converts the specified value of an energy flow in Watt as new value with the specified SI-Prefix (e.g 10.000 into 10 for 10.000 W into 10 kW).

Parameters:

energyFlowValueInWatt - the energy flow value in watt

desiredUnit - the desired unit

Returns:

the double

convertEnergyFlowInWatt

public static EnergyFlowInWatt convertEnergyFlowInWatt(EnergyFlowInWatt energyflow,
                                                       EnergyUnitFactorPrefixSI desiredSIprefix)

Converts the specified EnergyFlowInWatt into the desired SI-prefix (e.g 10.000 kW into 10 MW, while setting the desired SI-prefix to EnergyUnitFactorPrefixSI.MEGA_M_6).

Parameters:

energyflow - the energy to convert

desiredSIprefix - the desired prefix

Returns:

the energy value in Watt

convertEnergyAmount
