Maximum Demand Electrical [repack] -

At each minute:

def demand_control(self, demand_kw, limit_kw): if demand_kw >= limit_kw: self.shed_level(2) # shed all non‑critical loads elif demand_kw >= limit_kw * 0.95: self.shed_level(1) # shed first stage loads elif demand_kw < limit_kw * 0.85: self.restore_level(1) if demand_kw < limit_kw * 0.70: self.restore_level(2) maximum demand electrical

Electricity meters continuously log energy consumption. The meter averages the power used during each consecutive time block. On restart, wait for full window before reliable demand

| Condition | Handling | |-----------|----------| | Power loss | Persist buffer & peak to EEPROM. On restart, wait for full window before reliable demand. | | Incomplete window at startup | Use partial window average with a flag. | | Meter rollover | Detect by comparing readings; adjust delta with max meter reading. | | Communication delay | Timestamp each reading; interpolate if needed. | | | Communication delay | Timestamp each reading;

Interlocking controls prevent two heavy machines from running at the same time.
