General

The load profile reflects the history of the electric power and documents the distribution of power fluctuations
and peaks. The load profile is determined on subperiods of 10/12 cycles (50 Hz/60 Hz).
SICAM Q100 supports 2 methods of load-profile determination: the Fixed Block method and the Rolling
Block method.
The load profile is stored in the ring buffer of the device and provided at the communication interfaces (see
chapter 9.3.5.1 and System manual). In addition, it can be output as CSV file.
The load profile can be recorded in synchronized or non-synchronized form. The synchronization is made
by external or internal triggers.
The following diagram shows a 45-min measuring period which consists of 3 subperiods of 15 min each.
The measured and calculated load-profile data are stored in the ring buffer at the end of each subperiod. After
3 subperiods, the average power value of the measuring period is calculated from the 3 load-profile data of the
subperiods. The values (cumulative values and averages) can be retrieved at any time within a subperiod via
the communication.
