Powermonitor 3000 Unit Operations Chapter 3

Instantaneous

The power monitor computes instantaneous demand by substituting
the elapsed interval duration for the total interval duration (T) in the
demand equation. It is therefore identical to the standard computation
except it integrates the power only over the elapsed interval duration
and calculates the average value over the elapsed duration. The
modified equation thus becomes.

First Order Projection

The first order demand projection does the following:

Utilizes the instantaneous demand as a starting point

Computes the trend of the instantaneous demand

Computes the time remaining in the interval

Performs a first order projection of what the final demand is at
the end of the interval.

This method may be useful where your system has a significant base
load with additional loads that are switched in and out during the
interval.

Second Order Projection

The second order demand projection begins with the first order
projection, then it does the following:

Computes the rate of change of the first order trend

Computes the time remaining in the interval

Performs a second order projection of what the final demand is
at the end of the interval

This method may be useful where your power system has little or no
base load and a load profile that increases over the duration of the
interval. A second order projection is more sensitive to rapid load
changes than the other methods.
