7.6.2.2.3 Absolute Power Management
The power management based on absolute load reserves can be successfuly used in cases the load
portions are similar to the gen-set capacity or even bigger. The goal of the absolute reserve mode is to
provide the same load reserve all the time independently on how many gen-sets are currently running.
The mode perfectly fits for industrial plants with large loads.
The absolute power management guarantees adjustable load reserve in kVA or kW.
Activation:
Pwr management: #Pwr mgmt mode = ABS (kW) - Based on active power load reserve.
Suitable for load demand-based optimization
Pwr management: #Pwr mgmt mode = ABS (kVA) - Based on apparent power load reserve.
Suitable for generator or busbar
dimensioning-based optimization.
