Gas Fuel Generator Power Control

​This setup and IC10 code allow you to specify exact amount of power you want to get from Gas Fuel Generator and adjust the fuel line automatically, regardless of the fuel temperature and pressure.
Note: This setup doesn't include cooling!

There is also Volume Pump based version that is even simpler! See here

​What you need:

• Gas Fuel Generator
  
• Fuel
  
• Pipe Analyzer
  
• Valve
  
• Pressure Regulator
  
• IC10 housing and circuit

What you get:

• You specify number of Watts you want to get from Gas Fuel Generator and it generates exactly that amount of power (with 99.9999% accuracy)

Fuel consumption:

• 10’000W = ~0.279 moles of fuel per tick
  
• 100’000W = ~2.79 moles of fuel per tick

Fuel Temperatures:
Setup:

• [Fuel pipe ➔] [Valve ➔] [1× Pipe + Pipe Analyzer] [Pressure Regulator ➔] [1× Pipe] [Gas Fuel Generator input]
  
• Keep in mind that 1× means exactly one segment of pipes. This is a requirement.
  
• You can replace first valve with something else to separate pipe networks, for example digital valve, pump etc.

IC10 setup:

• d0 — sensor that provides the Temperature of the fuel line (I use Pipe Analyzer in the example)
  
• d1 — whatever provides the needed Power output in Watts (I use Logic Memory in the example)
  
• d2 — Pressure Regulator

Code is pretty simple and you can tweak it for your own needs.
For example replace d0 Pipe Analyzer with Fuel tank to read its Temperature directly, use Switch in d1 or just calculate and set needed amount of power directly in code.
