The Sensitivity attribute specifies the level of aggression for shedding Loads when using the Sliding Window algorithm. A High sensitivity sheds more loads sooner than a Low sensitivity.

  • Low setting - allows you to start shedding loads later and shedding loads over a shorter period of time. This setting reduces the amount of equipment that is turned off; however, it increases the possibility of exceeding the target.

  • Medium setting - (default) allows you to start shedding slightly earlier than a low setting and later than a high setting. This setting turns off equipment earlier than with a low setting, but does not have to turn off as much equipment at once as with the high setting.

  • High setting - allows you to begin shedding sooner into the demand peak. This setting decreases the possibility of exceeding the target; however, it increases the amount of equipment that is turned off.
