Switching levels

The CHPs (combined heat and power units) are a special case within the EMS. This special type of generators can adjust their output in levels. In order to define a CHP, you can define switching levels for a random device in the EMS.

Basically you can define under the node Switching steps settings for the Setpoint variable, for the current output and for the Hysteresis for each CHP.

For every CHP any number of switching levels can be defined:

Each switching level offers settings for the output, the forewarning of the switching and the switch-on and switch-off. All adjustable properties are described in the help window after you click on them.

Attention

If switching levels are defined for a generator, these settings overwrite the standard parameters of the generator. An according warning is displayed during compiling in the output window. "
