Demand
Demand is a measure of average power consumption over a fixed time interval. Peak (or maximum) demand is the highest demand level recorded over the billing period.
Demand is measured using Sliding Window Demand modules. These modules are configured to calculate the average current demand and kW, kVAR and kVA demand. The setup registers in the demand module define time intervals for demand calculations, setting the sensitivity of the module’s operation.
The meter has a default demand framework that is suitable for most utility applications. However, if needed, you can customize it for your specific application.
