Resumen o descripción

The peak demand or demand limit control is an important part of the actions that industries carry out to optimize their energy consumption and reduce the costs related to their electricity billing. Prioritized switching of multiple appliances is often needed in order to reduce demand and energy consumption during peak load periods. The present article describes a peak load limitation algorithm that estimates the optimal disconnection time for one or more electrical loads before the electric demand exceeds a preset limit. This algorithm uses parametric and variable load factors that vary dynamically depending on what loads are present at a given time. For its validation, a software-in-the-loop testbed was designed and developed, in which multiple electrical loads were simulated via LabVIEW software and connected to a PLC controller emulated through CODESYS software. In this environment, several test congurations were executed and evaluated to study the inuence of variables such as the nominal power and the disconnection priority of loads in the algorithm output. The results showed that the control algorithm is effective for peak load limitation, the maximum demand value reached during simulations tests did not exceed the preset demand limit at any time interval. The performance of the algorithm could be improved when prioritizing the shutdown of loads with higher nominal power or when increasing the anticipation time used for the disconnection of the controllable loads.
