As Ilse begins to question the Titan of its origins and purpose, the Titan becomes increasingly uncomfortable, groaning and eventually pulling at the skin of its own face. As Ilse becomes afraid and flees, the Titan grabs her and crushes her head in its jaws, killing her.

There is often a figure shown as ‘Maximum demand’. What does it mean and why should you be interested?

Electricity use is metered and charged in two ways:

To avoid penalties for maximum demand we must ensure that this value will never exceed contracted power.

Usually, in electricity bills, the highest maximum demand value recorded by the meter is compared to the contracted power. Whenever this value is higher than the contracted power, there will be an economic penalty. Therefore, if during the billing month the power exceeds the one contracted, during a period of 15 minutes, the customer will pay a penalty, even if it exceeds only once a month (one month has approximately 2880 fifteen-minute periods).

As shown in the graph, if the maximum demand value exceeds 10 % of the contracted power, the user will pay a 20% increase on the maximum demand term. However if the maximum demand value exceeds 20 % of the contracted power, the user will pay a 50% increase on the maximum demand term.

As we have been advancing, the goal to control the maximum demand is to not exceed the limit of the contracted power. To archive this goal, we advise to install a system able to disconnect non critical loads, on different time periods, and also avoid connecting loads simultaneously to reduce the instantaneous power.

Non-critical loads are those that do not affect the main production process or that are not essential, such as:

The main objective of the Goblin Plus series is to manage and control the maximum demand of an installation, also can be used as a Data Logger. To achieve this objective, the device connects and disconnects some loads (non-critical ones) to ensure that the maximum demand will never be higher than the contracted power, avoiding electricity bill surprises. Moreover, the Goblin Plus, allows a tariff control to adjust the loads for being connected on periods with lower price, avoiding high consumptions due to loads simultaneity during high tariff price periods.

GOBLIN PLUS is a multipurpose meter, with all the features needed to implement a robust electrical load management system. It can be configured to suit most control and communication needs. The meter has four LEDs in the front, two to calibrate energies, one to indicate the status of RS485 communication and one to indicate DG Status.
