6.9.4. Demand registering
The contract between the customer and the utility company may specify certain energy demand limitations or
threshold parameters. Exceeding those stated limits could result in penalties being issued.
Meter-based demand registering is a convenient way for both the customer and the utility to monitor energy
consumption.
All the measured energy quantities (40) recorded by the meter are available for demand registering, such as:
Per phase
Aggregate
Summation
6.9.4.1. Demand channels
For demand registering purposes the meter can be configured with up to ten independent demand channels,
each channel being selected from the list of available measured energy quantities.
In addition, the calculated aggregate power factor can be allocated to a demand channel.
Tariffs are applied to these demand channels, with the exception of the aggregate power factor channel.
At any time, several tariff rates can be active for a particular demand channel and it is possible to have different
tariff rate configurations in each demand channel.
6.9.4.2. Demand registers
The meter records energy demand in up to twenty-four individual demand registers. Each of the meter demand
channels can have a maximum allocation of eight demand registers from within this limit. The demand registers
are dedicated to recording the average energy demand over a fixed time known as the integration period.
