Syntax
PDLDPG(area,kwtot1,target1,...,kwtot7,target7)
area | Meter area designation. - In order for the program to operate correctly, the same numeric value must be used for the meter area parameter in the PDLDPG, PDLMTR, and PDLSET statements. |
kwtot1through kwtot7 | Total amount of power consumed by the loads that are controlled by the PDL command. - The same virtual LAO point must be used for both the PDL totkw parameter and the kwtot parameter in the owning PDLDPG command. The value of this parameter is calculated by the PDL command. A power-consuming load is controlled by a PDL command if the following criteria are met: - The power-consuming load is defined in a PDLDAT command that is associated with a PDL command. - The load is currently in NONE or PDL priority. - The PDL command is traced and is enabled. - The PDLDPG command is enabled. - The PDLDAT command is enabled |
target1through target7 | Power consumption target value. One target parameter must be specified for the corresponding PDL command in the load-handling automation stations. - The same virtual LAO point must be used for both the PDL target parameter and the target parameter in the corresponding PDLDPG command. The value of this parameter is calculated by the PDLDPG command. One kwtot parameter must be specified for each PDL statement that is a number of this meter area. The sum of the value of all kwtot parameters is used by the PDLDPG command to calculate the power consumption target value for each PDL command. - Each of these kwtot parameters must be the same virtual LAO point that is specified as the kwtot parameter for the corresponding PDL and PDLDPG statements. The value of the parameter is assigned by the PDL statement in which it is defined. |
Use
Keeps track of how many kilowatts worth of load are available in each load-handling automation station and how many kilowatts are to be shed or restored at any time in each automation station.
Sets the target value for each PDL command associated with a meter area.
The PDLDPG statement proportionally distributes the target value to each PDL statement according to the values of kwtot1 through kwtot7.
Example
100 PDLDPG(1,TOTKW1,TGT1,TOTKW2,TGT2)
Notes
- In a network system, a load defined by a PDLDAT statement must reside in the same automation station as the PDL statement.
- A PDLDAT statement is referenced by only one PDL statement. Using multiple references produces unpredictable results.
- The PDLDAT statement should be in the same automation station as the load.
