Diagram : Control of the overrun of the subscribed power
Subscribed power charges and penalties for exceeding subscribed power are one of the main items on the electricity bills of high and medium voltage customers.
To reduce their bill, users are encouraged to subscribe to the lowest possible power level and not to exceed it too much. To do this, they must
control
the simultaneous power calls of their loads and machines.
The difficulty is that the power demand is not an instantaneous value, but rather an average calculated by the energy meter over successive periods of 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the country,
The peak load management system is a system capable of predicting the risk of exceeding the subscribed power sufficiently in advance, disconnecting non-priority loads at controlled times and avoiding their simultaneous reconnection when the risk of exceeding the subscribed power disappears. This is equivalent to “shifting” the operation of certain loads over time.
Applications
All types of industries
Tertiary buildings with medium-voltage connections
The loads to be disconnected should be selected from those that do not affect the company’s main production process, for example:
- Lighting,
- Air conditioning,
- Fans and extractors,
- Cold compressors,
- Pumps for feeding storage tanks,
- Packaging machines,
- Crushers or grinders in certain processes (quarry, mine,…)
- etc.
