3.3.- CONTROLLING THE MAXIMUM POWER
One of the functions of the
Dispenser is to control the limits of the power that can be consumed
by the user.
The unit limits the maximum power available according to the type of contract and status of the
micro-grid. If this power level is exceeded, the general relay is opened, disconnecting the power
supply from the subscriber. (
)
This function allows each user of the installation to define the maximum power available, estab-
lishing the number of loads that can be connected to the grid. Therefore, this limiter can be used
to ensure that the power for which the electrical network has been designed is never exceeded.
The
Contracted power is defined in the DISPENSER-SOFT application as:
Contracted power = Base power x Power multiplier�
Where:
Base power : base power of the micro-grid.
Power multiplier : multiplier factor that depends on the type of contract.
The maximum power value is modified according to the status of the micro-grid.
3�3�1�- NORMAL MODE
In this operating mode, the maximum power that can be consumed by the user is equal to the
contracted power.
