As explained in 5.1.3, the controller operation in Follow mode is similar to the PeakShave mode. The difference is that there is no fixed target value. The target varies according to the power measured at the time specified in TimeDischargeTrigger property.

The discharge trigger has been set to 6pm. Figure 14 shows that the controller regulates the power measured at 6pm indeed.          


New StorageController.SC element=Line.ln5815900-1 terminal=1 modedis=follow

~ MonPhase=AVG kwtarget=10200 modecharge=Time timeChargeTrigger=2 %rateCharge=50

~ timeDischargeTrigger=18 %reserve=20 eventlog=yes


Note that the corresponding band (in kW) also varies depending on the target set at TimeDischargeTrigger.

A fixed band can also be set with property kWBand. In this situation, the automatic update of the band as percentage of the varying target is disabled.
