<p class=MsoNormal>I have a building that I have included an electrical peak demand
ratchet to give my peak demand during the hours of 3-6pm for June, July and
August. This seems to work and I get a peak demand for each month as 149.3,
144.2 and 143.7 kW. When I look at the simulation outputs and the
electrical demand charts these give me an overall peak demand of 87.6, 86.6 and
93.1 kW respectively. How can my ratchet be giving higher numbers than my
overall peak electric demand?<o:p></o:p></p>
