Based on the data and pr<strong>of</strong>iles created the net electrical energy import (E Net Import ), thenet electrical energy export (E Net Export ) and the net demand satisfied by the microtrigenerationsystem (E Net Demand μTRIGEN ), all specified in kWh, could be calculated forany period <strong>of</strong> time N minutes (again depending on the type <strong>of</strong> aggregated analysisbeing done) using equations (4.4), (4.5) and (4.6) respectively.For E Net Import equation (4.4)If (Gross Elec. Demand n – μTRIGEN Power Output n ) < 0, then(Gross Elec. Demand n – μTRIGEN Power Output n ) = 0For E Net Export equation (4.5)If (Gross Elec. Demand n – μTRIGEN Power Output n ) > 0, then(Gross Elec. Demand n – μTRIGEN Power Output n ) = 0For E Net Demand μTRIGEN equation (4.6)Valid for μTRIGEN Power Output n > 0; else if μTRIGEN Power Output n = 0, thenE Net Demand μTRIGEN = 0Also if Gross Elec. Demand n > Max μTRIGEN Power Output n, thenGross Elec. Demand n = Max μTRIGEN Power Output nThe Gross Elec. Demand n is the total electrical demand <strong>of</strong> the building (based on theelectrical pr<strong>of</strong>iles created in Chapter 2 but excluding the electricity required to runthe system’s fans and pumps – not included in the analysis). The μTRIGEN PowerOutput n is the electrical power output <strong>of</strong> the micro-trigeneration system.149
