6. LOAD-MANAGEMENTThe LOAD-MANAGEMENT instruction is used to schedule seasonal operation ofplant equipment or for managing heating, cooling, or electric loads.Each LOAD-ASSIGNMENT instruction must be referenced by the LOAD-MANAGEMENTinstruction. If the LOAD-ASSIGNMENT and LOAD-MANAGEMENT instructions areomitted, the operation of heating, cooling, and electrical equipment will notbe user-controlled. In this case, the program will schedule the operation ofequipment in an order that seeks to achieve the OPERATING-RATIO (seePART-LOAD-RATIO instruction) for each piece of equipment.LOAD MANAGEMENTHEAT-MUL TIPLIERThis command word informs the PDL Processor that the datato follow are related to the scheduling of plant equipmentor managing the heating, cooling, or electric loads.specifies the ratio of the managed power input to thenominal capacity of the normally assigned plant heatingequipment. For example, if the electric load is beingmanaged to reduce peak demands, the user enters the ratioratio ~electric power input (Btu/hr)nominal heating capacity (Btu/hr) .for the equipment normally assigned to meet the heatingload. This entry should include the electric energy tomove and control the working fluid, as well as the electricpower input to the equipment.COOL-MULTIPLIERELEC-MULTIPLIERspecifies the ratio of the managed power input to thenominal capacity of the normally assigned plant coolingequipment. For example, if the electric load is to bemanaged to reduce peak demands, the user enters the ratioratio ~electric power input (Btu/hr)nomlnal cooling capacity {Btu/hrJfor the equipment normally assigned to meet the cooling·load. This entry should include the electric energy tomove and control the working fluid, as well as the electricinput to the equipment.If the user does not wish to manage a load, no entry isrequired.specifies the ratio of the managed power input to thenominal capacity of normally assigned plant electricgenerating equipment. For example, if the heating load isbeing managed to reduce natural gas peak consumption, theuser enters the ratioratio ~heat input (Btu/hr)nominal electric capacity (Btu/hr)V.59 (Revised 5/81)
