Load Monitoring

Overview of Load MonitoringElectricity supply contracts contain provisions to calculate the kilowatthour rate and the demand rate.The demand rate is calculated according to the maximum imported power.Therefore, avoid power peaks and distribute the power demand uniformly throughout the day.

MonitoringLoad monitoring enables you to:• Monitor the power demand values

• Respond to deviations from the planned target

Orientation VariablesLoad monitoring supplies two orientation variables for estimation of consumption behavior:• Correction power

• Forecast energy consumption

Correction PowerThe correction power is the power that is connected or disconnected to optimally use the energy volume avail-able for the current tariff interval. It informs you whether the energy imported in the tariff interval is withinthe limits of available energy and is used optimally.Forecast Energy ConsumptionLoad monitoring forecasts the expected energy consumption at the end of the tariff interval. The forecast isrecalculated for each calculation interval and becomes more precise after each calculation interval.Tariff Interval / Calculation Interval

4.16.5

4.16.5.1



The tariff interval is subdivided into a number of calculation intervals that can be selected. The correctionpower and the consumption forecast are determined for each calculation interval.

ResponseLoad monitoring supports reactive measures with:• Switching bits

• Alerts

Switching BitsLoad monitoring sets the following switching bits:• Element No switch: The bit is set if the correction power is within the limit curve or the first or last calcu-

lation interval is calculated.

• Element switchOff: powermanager sets this bit if the load needs to be deactivated.

• Element switchOn: powermanager sets this bit if the load needs to be activated.The bits are triggered based on the defined limit curve.For more information on limit curves, see 4.16.5.3 Device Engineering for Load Monitoring.The switching state is queried in reaction plans.For more information on reaction plans, see 4.19.1 Overview of Reaction Plans.

Alerts and WarningsAn alert or a warning can be optionally configured for each switching bit. Configure it when defining the limitcurve.For more information on limit curves, see 4.16.5.3 Device Engineering for Load Monitoring.

Runtime ViewThe Runtime view for load monitoring shows the following tabs.

OverviewThe Overview tab shows the consumption development of the monitored datapoint in the current tariffinterval:• Actual energy consumption

• Forecast energy consumption

• Timing

• Correction valueThe values are shown as percentage values in a bar chart and as absolute numerical values.

4.16.5.2



[sc_Overview_tab, 2, en_US]

Figure 4-21 Overview Tab

The bar chart contains the following components:• 100% mark: The 100 % mark identifies the energy setpoint.

• Consumption: The blue Consumption bar shows the actual percentage energy consumption in thecurrent tariff interval. The reference value is 100 % of the setpoint.The chart displays the consumption value up to a maximum of 125 %. If the consumption goes beyondthat threshold, then the color of the bar changes to red.

• Forecast: The Forecast bar shows the forecast of the consumption in the current tariff interval.The forecast is updated for each calculation interval.The chart displays the consumption value up to a maximum of 125 %. If the consumption goes beyondthat threshold, then color of the bar changes to red.

• Time: The yellow time bar shows the timing in the current tariff interval. The 100 % mark is the tariffinterval end time. The bar ends at the 100 % mark when the last calculation interval is reached.

• Correction value: The Correction value bar shows the positive or negative power correction value. Usethis value to adjust the actual power to its optimal value so that it corresponds to the setpoint.The red bar or the green bar denotes the correction value for the power. Both bars originate from the 100% mark.– Red bar: The red bar indicates negative correction value. It starts from the 100 % mark and moves to

the right of the mark.Switch off some power to bring the correction bar back to 100 % mark.

– Green bar: The green bar indicates positive correction value. It starts from the 100 % mark andmoves to the left of the mark.You can activate more power to bring the correction bar back to 100 % mark.

Invalid values are shown in magenta.



The Interval BoxThe Interval box displays the calculation intervals.The first value specifies the last completed calculation interval. The second value shows the number of calcula-tion intervals into which the tariff interval is subdivided.The Consumption, Prognosis, and Correction boxes show the absolute numerical values corresponding to thebar charts for the same values.

Energy ProfileThe Energy profile tab displays the deviation between actual energy consumption and rated energyconsumption during the current tariff interval.

[sc_EnergyProfile_tab, 2, en_US]

Figure 4-22 Energy Profile Tab

The Energy profile tab contains the following information:• The X-axis denotes the time curve of the tariff interval.

• The Y-axis denotes the imported energy in kWh.

• The black trend line denotes the consumption setpoint. It is always linear.



• The colored trend line shows the actual consumption.The trend line is either blue, red, or magenta.– If the actual consumption is below the setpoint, the trend line is blue. This condition indicates a

positive correction power in the current calculation interval. You can activate extra power withoutexceeding the setpoint.

– If the actual consumption is above the setpoint, the trend line is red. This condition indicates a nega-tive correction power in the current calculation interval. Switch off some power to bring theconsumption to the setpoint.

– If powermanager encounters an invalid value during the calculation interval, the trend line ismagenta.

Daily TrendThe Daily trend tab displays the power demand of the monitored load during the day.

The Daily trend tab displays the following information:• The X-axis shows the tariff intervals for a 24 hour time range.

• The Y-axis shows the power in kW.

• The orange horizontal axis shows the power setpoint.

• The blue column shows the actual output of one tariff interval.

• The red column shows the tariff interval with the highest power demand during the day.

• The magenta column shows the tariff intervals with invalid values.



Previous Day TrendThe Previous day trend tab shows the power demand of the monitored loads during the previous day.The display corresponds to the daily trend.The previous day's trend is not displayed if no data is available for the previous day or if the calculation intervallength has changed with respect to the previous day.

EnvelopeThe Envelope tab shows:• Correction power values of the calculation intervals during the current tariff interval.

• Parameterized limit curve. The limit curve defines the threshold of the correction power. Switching is onlyrecommended if the actual power exceeds the limit curve. The purpose of limit definition is to smoothbrief power spikes, thus reducing the number of switching recommendations.

Superpositioning of the two curves results in the calculation intervals with the switching recommendation thattakes effect.

The internal switching bits of the system trigger the alerts sending. In turn, which switching bits the systemsets depends on the defined limit curve.There are four options available in the Alerting area:• no switch

Select this option to receive an alert/warning whenever the switchNo switching bit is set.You do not need to connect or disconnect the load.

• switch offSelect this option to receive an alert/warning whenever the switchOff switching bit is set.Disconnect the load.

• switch onSelect this option to receive an alert/warning whenever the switchOn switching bit is set.Load can be connected.

• soonSwitch off the load because the percentage threshold in the Limit % field is reached.The value in the Limit % field refers to the energy consumption setpoint in the tariff interval. 100 %corresponds to the setpoint.

Schedule

PurposeFor each tariff interval during a day, a schedule defines the rated power of the monitored datapoint. Thus, theplanned rated power varies in intervals and can increase or decrease at various times in a day.The system calculates the number of tariff intervals. The interval length in the schedule is prepared accord-ingly. For example, if a 15-minute tariff interval is configured, the schedule contains 96 intervals.A schedule applies to any selected calendar period. For all days without an assigned individual schedule, thesystem accesses a default schedule.The time difference between summer and winter time is not considered in the schedule. Configure thechangeover days separately.To create or edit schedules, explicitly activate an edit mode. This prevents inadvertent parameterization errors.

Path and File NameThe system subdivides consecutive calendar periods into days and creates a file in the following directory:<project_name>\data\EC_TimeTableThe format of the name assigned to the file is:<load_monitor_name>_YYYYMMDD.csvThe file containing the default schedule is named:<load_monitor_name>_default.csv

Opening the Edit Schedule WindowFor information on opening the Edit Schedule window, see Parameterization under Device Engineering inLoad Monitoring.

Edit Schedule WindowThe Edit schedule window enables you to create and edit timetables. You can define the schedules for aprolonged period and store them for each day.

4.16.5.4



[sc_EditSchedule, 1, en_US]

The schedule table has the following columns:• No.: The nth tariff interval in the course of the day. The system calculates and specifies the number of

tariff intervals.

• Time: Start time of the tariff interval.

• setpoint: Power setpoint on the monitored datapoint in the tariff interval.The Action area has the following boxes:• View file: This option is selected by default when you open the Edit Schedule window. It enables you to

view the current schedule in the table.Also, only the starting point of the schedule is activated in the Period area when you select this option.

• Save/edit file: Select this option to edit the schedule.Selecting this option activates both the starting point and ending point of the schedule in the Periodarea.Additionally, you can edit the setpoint in the Setpoint column of the schedule table.

Creating a ScheduleTo create a schedule:• Check whether an individual schedule exists for the target period.

The schedule table has the heading Default schedule when the default schedule is visible. The tabledoes not have a heading when an individual schedule is assigned to the currently selected day.



• Select Save/edit file.

• In the Period area, define the time range for which the schedule is valid.

• Set up the schedule in the table. Define the power setpoint of the monitored datapoint for each tariffinterval.Empty Setpoint cells in the table assume the value from the Setpoint cell above. If you want to apply aconstant setpoint through the entire day, define the setpoint only for the first interval at the start of theday.If the Setpoint cell of the first tariff interval at the start of the day is not filled, the value entered on theParameterization tab applies.

• Click Apply to confirm the changes.

Creating a Default ScheduleIf no default schedule exists, powermanager shows an error message when you open the Edit Schedulewindow.To create a default schedule:• Create a schedule in the Edit Schedule window.

For more information on creating a schedule, see Creating a Schedule above.

• After you create a schedule, go to <project_name>\data\EC_TimeTable.

• Select the new schedule file.The file name format for the new file is: <load_monitor_name>_YYYYMMDD.csv.The date YYYYMMDD in the file name corresponds to the date value in the dialog.

• Replace the date YYYYMMDD with default.Therefore, the new file name has the format: <load_monitor_name>_default.csv.

Reaction Plans

Overview of Reaction Plans

Automated Switching of Digital OutputsBased on the configuration of the reaction plans, powermanager switches the interfaced devices' digitaloutputs automatically. Automation requires configuration of the reaction plans.

Target, Function, and SourceA reaction plan consists of three parts:• Target

The target of a reaction plan is a digital output. On the device, configure the output as Remote output toenable switching.

• FunctionThe function denotes the type of triggering.The switching operation can be triggered as follows:– Digital input of a device– Alert of a measured value– Switching bit of load monitoring

• SourceAny datapoint element (DPE) that provides the selected function serves as the source.Together, the function and the source are the switching condition.

Assigning the Target and ConditionYou must prepare a separate reaction plan to switch a digital output automatically.A maximum of one condition can be assigned to one target. However, you can assign a single condition tomultiple targets.

ValidityThe system checks the validity of the source and target when a reaction plan is configured.The reaction plan is not checked during the runtime. Later changes in the system lead to incorrect parameteri-zation. When you reopen the configuration view for reaction plans, messages pointing out such arising param-eterization errors are displayed.

Configuring Reaction Plans

The reaction plans are listed in tables in two tabs:Parameterize outputs tabThis tab shows:• Assignment of the target, function, and source

• Switching status of the sourceThe status of the source can be inverted with a switching command.

[sc_ParameterizeOutputs_tab, 2, en_US]

Figure 4-37 Parameterize Outputs

Switching outputs tabThis tab shows the switching status of the target.You can force the switching of the digital output using a switching command.

ScopeThe reaction plans table lists the existing digital outputs. Additionally, incorrectly parameterized, deactivated,or reaction plans that can still be configured are visible.The scope is limited to the level selected in the project tree. All digital outputs existing in the system are listedwhen the project tree root is selected.A digital output only appears once in the list. Therefore, you can assign only one condition to one output.

SortingWhen you open the reaction plans table, all the columns are automatically sorted in ascending order based onthe digital outputs, that is, the first two columns: output area.sector(s) and Output.Sorting is possible for all columns.

4.19.3



Click the column header to sort the table in descending order. Click once again to sort the table in ascendingorder.

Active Reaction PlanA reaction plan is created and active in the runtime system when a function and a source are assigned to adigital output.The Function column provides the following functions:• Digital input

• Alert

• Load monitoringSelect a source whenever you select a function. The system opens a corresponding selection window. A func-tion can be reassigned at any time. The source for a selected function can be changed later.Select the No function function to deactivate an existing reaction plan.The columns for sources that are not assigned are blank.

Remote Output PrerequisiteThe Type of use column shows the type of use of the digital output that has been set on the device, eitherdirectly or with configuration software.Digital outputs can only be parameterized if they have been configured as a Remote output. The Functioncolumn only offers functions for selection if this prerequisite is met. Otherwise, the Function and Sourcecolumns are blank.

Nonexecutable ParameterizationA configured reaction plan becomes nonexecutable if the type of use of the digital output is modified later,either directly on the device or via the powerconfig configuration software. In this case, a different value isvisible in the table instead of the Remote output type of use.The system uses color coding to identify reaction plans that have become nonexecutable. The existing assign-ment of the target, function, and source is retained.Color Error class MeaningRed 1 The output is configured as Rotation. It cannot be switched.Yellow 2 An alert is selected as the source, but the associated alert handling is not activated.

The alert cannot arrive, and so the reaction plan is not executed.Gray 3 The address of the source or of the target is deactivated. In this case, the system

does not register the changes or the switching command is not forwarded to thedevice.

Switching commands are executed until the reaction plan is deleted. The "No function" function cancelsassignment of the source.The output remains in its last known state if communication with the source is interrupted. The output statuschanges accordingly as soon as communication with the source is established again and its status changes.The digital output remains in its last known state if communication with the digital output is interrupted. Theoutput status changes accordingly as soon as communication with the output is established again and thestatus of the source changes.

Behavior in Distributed SystemsIf the digital input of a remote device (non-local device in a distributed system) is linked to the digital outputof a local device in a reaction plan and the distributed system is no longer accessible the local device maintainsthe last output state internally.For example, if there is a communication disruption, the local device internally maintains the last output state.



iiNOTEIf the input state of the remote device changes during the communication disruption the local device doesnot recognize this status change.

Logical InversionIn the Inverted column, you can invert the switching state. Inverting the switching state also inverts theoutput status.

Columns in Parameterize Outputs TabThe columns of the Parameterize outputs tab are sorted according to Targets, Functions, and Sources.The Parameterize outputs tab has the following columns:• Digital output location and Digital output

These columns display the digital output of the device that is attached in the designated area and sectorof the project tree.

• Type of useThis column displays the configured type of use of the digital output. Configuration of a reaction planrequires the Remote output type of use.

• FunctionThis column is used to set the trigger for the switching operation of the digital output.You can set one of the following triggers:– Digital input of the device– Alert of a measured value– Switching bit of load monitoring

Click the table cell to open a list box. You can select the trigger types from this list.Click on a list entry to open the corresponding dialog for selection of the source.

• Source location and SourceThese columns display the datapoint element attached in the designated area and sector of the projecttree. This provides the selected function.Click a cell to open a selection window.

• Source stateThis column displays whether the source is switched on or off.

• InvertedYou can invert the switching state using this column.If this column is set to YES, then logical inversion is switched on.If this column is set to NO, then logical inversion is switched off.

Columns in Switch Outputs TabThe Switch outputs tab shows the switching status of the digital output. You can change the switching statususing a switching command.The Switch outputs tab has the following columns:• Digital output location and Digital output

These columns display the digital output of the device that is attached in the designated area and sectorof the project tree.

• StateThis column displays the switching state of the digital output.If the switching state is OFF, then the digital output is low.If the switching state is ON, then the digital output is high.



• Switching groupThis column displays the switch group.

• Type of useThis column displays the configured type of use of the digital output. Configuration of a reaction planrequires the Remote output type of use.

• SwitchThis column displays the command for switching the digital output.Change the command to OFF to switch the signal of the digital output to low.Change the command to ON to switch the signal of the digital output to high.Based on the change in the switching status in this column, the values in the Status columns areupdated.

Configuring Filters

Types of DefinitionsFilter administration offers two methods of configuring filter settings:• Select selection criteria from predefined lists.

To do this, select the list option.

• Definition of text sequences that conduct a full text search.To do this, select the wildcard option.

AreasThe filter conditions can be applied to:• Area

Areas that are created in the project tree.

• Device typeDevice types.

• Device nameDevices that are created in the project tree.

• SectorsSectors that are created in the project tree.

• Measured valueAll retrievable measured values.

Five tabs denote the objects to which filter conditions are applied. Each tab represents one object.If you select the list option, the tabs provide area-specific lists for selection.A text sequence of the wildcard filter definition type is effective in the area in which it has been created.

Language DependenceIf you use the list option, the filter results are identical for all languages in the project. The system saves thecompiled filter based on the internal designation.Wildcards refer to the designations in the current language. When you use wildcards, the same filter indifferent languages return different results.

List Filter ModeAssigning Selection CriteriaTo adopt selection criteria for a filter, move the values from the available groups and available measure pointsboxes to the selected box.• Selecting a measured variable for the filter

Select a measured variable from the available measure points box and click to move it to theselected box.

Power Peak Analysis

Overview of Power Peak Analysis

powermanager contains a report generator for determination of power peaks within a specified time range.You can evaluate the following values using the report generator:• Power demand values of the PAC device types. The time stamp of the power demand values is at the start

of the period.

• Parameterized power demand values of generic Modbus devices.ReportYou receive the result of analysis in the form of a tabular report in the csv file format. You can open, print, andedit the report file with Microsoft Excel.powermanager issues the report in the language that you set.

4.21.5



Calculating Power Peaks

Scopepowermanager calculates power peaks based on archived data.A power peak consists of one or more periods. It begins with the end period of the first measured value thatexceeds the defined threshold and ends with the end period of the last measured value that exceeds thedefined threshold.To determine the end of the period, the period length at the time of the period start is determined and isadded to it. If several measured values exceed the limit in succession, the highest violation within the timerange is specified as the power peak. The end period of the value is always specified in the report as the timefor a measured value.

Percentage DeviationThe percentage deviation from the limit is calculated based on:((Value of the highest violation) – (Limit)) / (Limit) * 100The percentage deviation is rounded to integral percentages without decimal places.

Example of Percentage DeviationConsider a scenario where the defined limit is 2 kW and the query period is from:01.01.2010 10:00 to 01.01.2010 11:00

Table 4-4 Measured Values

Time stamp (period start) Time range [min] Value [W]01.01.2010 10:00 h 15 195701.01.2010 10:15 h 15 211001.01.2010 10:30 h 15 221501.01.2010 10:45 h 15 201301.01.2010 11:00 h 15 957

Based on the values in the preceding table, the following violations have occurred:01.01.2010 10:30 h to 01.01.2010 11:00 hValue: 2215 WTherefore, the percentage of deviation is:( 2215 W – 2000 W ) / ( 2000 W ) * 100 % = 11 %

Adapting the Archive SizeOptimum Archive Size

The optimum archive size depends on the number of devices in the project. Data loss can occur if archives aretoo small. Storage capacity is wasted if archives are too large.In the standard powermanager V3.3 installation, the archive is designed for 100 devices. When operatingmore than 500 devices, you must individually adapt the archive settings to your project. For more information,refer to the online help and the following query under the Siemens Support Database, FAQ: “What must beobserved to ensure that the time stamp and the power demand values of the devices are correctly exported? ”The archive_XXX.dpl files supplied in the standard installation are examples of a possible configuration.Adapt these files to your project.

Performance OptimizationOverview

powermanager offers the following options to improve the performance of the system:• Smoothing supplied data

• Extending polling times

• Reducing active addresses

Smoothing Supplied DataSmoothing is used to reduce the amount of communication and the volume of data stored in the system.powermanager can smooth the data supplied by the devices in the driver before it is processed further in thecontrol system.Value-dependent Smoothing with Relative Threshold Valuepowermanager performs value-dependent smoothing with a relative threshold (specified in [%]).A value is only smoothed if the difference between value arriving in the driver and the last value transferred tothe Event Manager less than the relative threshold.No smoothing takes place if the difference between the consecutive values exceeds the relative thresholdvalue.Value RangeMeaningful threshold values lie in the range from 0% to 5%.Smoothing Supplied DataTo smooth the supplied data:• Right-click the project tree root.

• In the context menu, click System settings > Driver settings to view the driver settings.

9.4

System Administration and Optimization9.4 Performance Optimization

Distributed SystemsOverview

Distributed systems enable connection of two or more autonomous powermanager systems via a commonnetwork. Each subsystem of a distributed system can be configured either as a single-station system or amulti-station system. Each system can process and display values and alerts of other systems.

LicensingThere must be a powermanager Distributed Systems license on every powermanager system that is oper-ated in a distributed system.

Interface to the SystemsCommunication of the parameterized subsystems takes place exclusively via the Distribution Manager. Enterthe parameterized subsystems in the powermanager Console before starting.

Permanent Network ConnectionA permanent network connection is required for mutual data access by the participating systems.

Creating New ProjectsFor information on how to create a project, see 9.1 Creating a New Project.

iiNOTECreation of a new project using a wizard is not recommended in the case of powermanager.

Parameterization of Distributed SystemsConfig FileEntry Possible values Description[general]distributed

1 or 0 Mandatory entry. This entry defines a distributed system. A distrib-uted system requires the distributed = 1 entry in the[general] section. This value can also be overwritten for indi-vidual Managers.[ctrl_1]distributed = 0In this case, the Control Manager with the number 1 cannot accessthe DPs of other systems (DP identification is not communicated tothis Manager).

[dist]distPort

Port number.The default value is4777.

Defines the port numbers used by the Dist Manager to acceptconnections from other systems. The default value is 4777. Do notdefine port numbers if your projects run on different computers.However, if your projects run on the same computer, define the portnumbers.

[dist]distPeer

– distPeer = "host1[:port1][$host2[:port2]]" system numberDefines the hosts and the system number to which the Dist Managerestablishes the connection as the "client" (the other system is the"server"). If the other system is redundant, powermanager separatesboth host names using $.

The following entries exist in the powermanager configuration file. The entries are examples and you mustadjust them accordingly.[general]
