Reducing demand for electricity

Configuring shed and restoration control using the ElectricalDemandLimit component can reduce peak demand for electricity and save money.

  1. Drag the ElectricalDemandLimit component to the Nav tree or wire sheet and open its property sheet by double-clicking it.
  2. Enable the component by either linking to it in the wire sheet or by manually setting the Prediction Enabled property value to true.
  3. Configure the component properties.
  4. Set up any power input links including linking the Shed Out slot (output) to a ShedControl object.
    This provides equipment shed and restoration control.
Based on how you configure the EDL component, the calculations direct that load shedding, load restoration, or no action be taken. With each calculation, the component updates and displays the projected average demand.
