Load Shedding: useful information

Description of the function
Load Shedding is an optional function integrated in the release that allows faults to be managed in installations that can function with energy produced by renewable and local energy sources, especially the absence of power supply caused, for example, by a fault on the MV voltage side.

Load Shedding checks up to fifteen loads in real time.

If a solar system is configured, an algorithm calculates the approximate value of the system when the loads are disconnected. According to the regulations, in the event of disconnection from the network, the photovoltaic system must also be disconnected.

Load Shedding can also include the power of any ATS present in the algorithm.

Versions of the function
This function is available in two versions:

Basic load shedding
Adaptive load shedding: also manages the presence of a photovoltaic system and/or ATS with generator

Load Shedding in Ekip Connect
From Ekip Connect the following operations can be performed:

quickly configure both the function and the loads
configure optional elements such as solar system and ATS
monitor the status of the loads and the values measured

Requirements

Access to the function	Basic load shedding: unrestricted Adaptive load shedding: unrestricted For transfer to the device, package Adaptive Load Shedding is required, which can be purchased and activated from Marketplace.
Type of devices that support the function	External unit for circuit breakers (e.g. Ekip Up) Circuit breakers
Device status	Any to configure the function and save the configuration. Connected and communicating to transfer the configuration to the device and to monitor the function. Note: during the transfer, it is recommended to keep the circuit breaker and contactors that control the loads downstream of the circuit breakers in the open state.
