The consumption is transferred to the simulation in minutely or hourly time series. The time series are generated from the entered load profiles and individual consumers by addition:
$$ Consumption(\text{h}) = \sum_{k=0}^{n}Load profiles(\text{h}) + \sum_{k=0}^{n} Individual consumer(\text{h}) $$
This is how the peak consumption of individual consumers is calculated:
| Consumer type | Calculation method |
|---|---|
| User-independent consumer: | Operating period = Annual power demand / Power*(switches every X hours) / 8760 Peak consumption = Power, if operating time $\geq 1\text{h}$ Peak consumption = Power*Operating time/1h, if operating time$\lt 1\text{h}$ |
| User-dependent consumer: | Peak consumption = Power |
| Short-term consumer: | Peak consumption = Power * Operating time / 1h |
| Light: | Peak consumption = Power |
The consumption in one hour is assumed to be constant, i.e. with an operating time of 15 minutes per hour, it is simulated as a device that runs for 1 hour with a quarter of the load.
