Configuring

All configuration can be done via the smart load plugin UI. Although it should never need to be edited directly, you can find the configuration file (sincal-load-server-config.json) in your AppData directory under Roaming\Zepben\SINCAL-Load-Server.

Logging

Log data generated by the smart load plugin is written to the ‘AppData’ directory for the currently logged in user under Roaming\Zepben\SINCAL-Load-Server\Logs

Configuring SINCAL

In order for SINCAL to use its smart load engine you need to add the following to your SINCAL projects database.ini:

[Smart]
SRV = ZepbenSmartLoadServer.1
ID = CutDown
Description = Zepben Smart Load for WPD_DDL_CLC_Complete_Working
IDMode = MRID
DataMode = BALANCED
SupplyU = BESTU
MRCAT = 

[Smart_Parameter]
EWB_SYSTEM_TAG = GIS

The smart load maker utility will automatically make these changes to the model’s .ini file.

The MS Access database will also be modified to add load elements to the MasterResource table.

It is assumed load elements will have a name in this format:

<FDR>_<TransformerName>_<GIS_ID>

For example:

WPD014_BIMBADEEN_DRIVE_13_20270542

The GIS_ID is one of the ID’s used by the Energy Workbench to identify transformers, and the GIS_ID is written to the ‘ResValue’ field in the MasterResource table for each transformer load point so the Energy Workbench can retrieve the load for that transformer.
