Example

The following script returns the time stamp of the real demand power minimum that
occurred during the Summer season, on working days, during the hours of 10:00 a.m. to
4:00 p.m.:

dim dtMins(3) [as DateTime]

dtMins = NLowestTimestamps(ValueType.RealPowerDemand,
SeasonType.Summer, DayType.WorkingDay, 10, 16, 3)

NPeaks Function

The NPeaks function returns the N largest instances of the selected value logged between
the report start and end dates, and during the periods defined by the SeasonType,
DayType, TimeOfUseType (or StartHour and EndHour) arguments. The NPeaks function
is generally used for rate-of-change values such as demand real and reactive power (kW,
kVAR). It returns a Double array of N elements.

Usage

Quantity = NPeaks(ValueType.enumValue, N)

Quantity = NPeaks(ValueType.enumValue, SeasonType.enumValue, N)

Quantity = NPeaks(ValueType.enumValue, SeasonType.enumValue,
DayType.enumValue, N)

Quantity = NPeaks(ValueType.enumValue, DayType.enumValue, N)

Quantity = NPeaks(ValueType.enumValue, startHour, endHour, N)

Quantity = NPeaks(ValueType.enumValue, TimeOfUseType.enumValue,
N)

Quantity = NPeaks(ValueType.enumValue, SeasonType.enumValue,
DayType.enumValue, startHour, endHour, N)

Quantity = NPeaks(ValueType.enumValue, SeasonType.enumValue,
DayType.enumValue, TimeOfUseType.enumValue, N)

Quantity = NPeaks(ValueType.enumValue, DayType.enumValue,
TimeOfUseType.enumValue, N)

Comments

N is an integer representing the number of peak values to be returned.

The startHour and endHour arguments are integers in the range of 1…24, where
24 = midnight.

Example

The following script calculates the 3 highest real demand power values that occurred
during the Summer season, on working days, during the hours of 10:00 am to 4:00 pm:

Dim dblDemandPeaks(3) [as Double]

dblDemandPeaks = NPeaks(ValueType.RealPowerDemand,
SeasonType.Summer, DayType.WorkingDay, 10, 16, 3)
