13.2.7.3 Power Measurement
The basic specifications for power measurement are entered in this dialog. Further
specifications can be made depending on the type of power measurement selected. The
following power measurement categories are available:
Type of Power Measurement
• No Power Measurement
• 96 Hour Measurement
• Standard Calculation (¼ hour power measurement)
• Light/Heavy Load Maximums
No Power Measurement
If the tariff for energy supply from the grid suffices without power measurement, then you
should select ”No Power Measurement”.
96 Hour Measurement
With the 96 hour tariff the electricity consumption in kWh within 96 consecutive hours is
added together in a consecutive time window. These hourly values are called power
values (Pow. Val.). The highest power value within the time period measured is used for
the calculation of power payment. The power payment is the sum of the highest power
value multiplied by the valid load price for annual electricity consumption according to
the given pricing band.
During 96 hour measurement with time zone regulation, the recording of the power
values during low tariff is suspended without changing the consecutive timing for the 96
hour measurement periods. In this case Measurement Only During HT Periods must be
selected in the Load Price dialog
Standard Calculation (¼ hour power measurement)
This calculates the power from the average value of the highest monthly power output
figures. The number of months that are used to calculate the maximum annual power
output is entered in the Load Price dialog.
Light/Heavy Load Maximums
¼ hour power measurement, with the time period used for providing the billing load
being limited to the so called heavy load periods. These heavy load periods are entered
in the Heavy Load Periods dialog. Further definition of the heavy load peak is described
under Standard Calculation.
The lowest monthly light load is entered separately.
