Attributes

NameTypeDescription
modesSupportedDERControlTypeBitmap indicating the DER Controls implemented by the device. See DERControlType for values.
rtgMaxChargeRateWActivePowerMaximum rate of energy transfer received by the storage DER, in Watts.
rtgMaxDischargeRateWActivePowerMaximum rate of energy transfer delivered by the storage DER, in Watts. Required for combined generation/storage DERs (e.g. DERType == 83).
rtgMaxACurrentRMSMaximum continuous AC current capability of the DER, in Amperes (RMS).
rtgMaxAhAmpereHourUsable energy storage capacity of the DER, in AmpHours.
rtgMinPFOverExcitedPowerFactorMinimum Power Factor displacement capability of the DER when injecting reactive power (over-excited); SHALL be a positive value between 0.0 (typically > 0.7) and 1.0. If absent, defaults to unity.
rtgMinPFUnderExcitedPowerFactorMinimum Power Factor displacement capability of the DER when absorbing reactive power (under-excited); SHALL be a positive value between 0.0 (typically > 0.7) and 0.9999. If absent, defaults to rtgMinPFOverExcited.
rtgMaxVAApparentPowerMaximum continuous apparent power output capability of the DER, in VA.
rtgMaxVarNegReactivePowerMaximum continuous reactive power received by the DER, in var. If absent, defaults to negative rtgMaxVar.
rtgMaxVarReactivePowerMaximum continuous reactive power delivered by the DER, in var.
rtgMaxWActivePowerMaximum continuous active power output capability of the DER, in watts. Represents combined generation plus storage output if DERType == 83.
rtgMaxWhWattHourMaximum energy storage capacity of the DER, in WattHours.
typeDERTypeType of DER; see DERType object
rtgOverExcitedWActivePowerActive power rating in Watts at specified over-excited power factor (rtgOverExcitedPF). If present, rtgOverExcitedPF SHALL be present.
rtgOverExcitedPFPowerFactorSpecified over-excited power factor.
rtgUnderExcitedWActivePowerActive power rating in Watts at specified under-excited power factor (rtgUnderExcitedPF). If present, rtgUnderExcitedPF SHALL be present.
rtgUnderExcitedPFPowerFactorSpecified under-excited power factor.
