Demand Metering
Demand is an electric power term that expresses the average energy usage over a
predefined period of time. The power monitor can be configured to measure
demand by using a fixed demand period or a sliding window. The demand period
can be timed internally, synchronized to an external demand end-of-interval
contact connected to the S2 status input, or synchronized by using
communication. The PowerMonitor 5000 unit, by default, calculates demand on
a fixed 15-minute demand period, synchronized to the power monitor internal
clock.
Projected demand calculates an instantaneous or linear projection of demand at
the end of a demand interval.
