Calculation method
Calculation method
Start-step peak demands (JSON)
At each start, already-running demand plus that load’s starting demand; running load accumulates.
Final running demand (kW)
At each start, already-running demand plus that load’s starting demand; running load accumulates.
Steps above transient limit (JSON)
At each start, already-running demand plus that load’s starting demand; running load accumulates.
Running-limit margin (kW)
At each start, already-running demand plus that load’s starting demand; running load accumulates.
Symbols and units
- a
- Running demands in start order (kW)
- b
- Starting demands in same order (kW)
- c
- User-approved transient limit (kW)
- d
- User-approved running limit (kW)
Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.
Assumptions & limits
Assumptions & limits
- Sequential kW arithmetic; does not model frequency/voltage dip, kVA, harmonics or generator dynamic response. Supported limits: Finite numeric values bounded to 1e9 magnitude; lists and tables contain 1–100 records unless a stricter bound is stated. Inputs use the units shown. Lists explicitly paired by a method must have matching lengths; independent polynomial coefficient vectors may differ. Respect stated physical, interpolation, policy and computational domain limits.
