7.1 To determine set point stability, the power
coefficient of variance shall be calculated over a 10-minute interval,
and the sampling rate shall be at least 1-Hz. The result shall be
less than or equal to five per cent (5%).
7.2 The formulae for calculating the coefficient
of variance are as follows:
Where:
- %C.O.V. power coefficient of variance in %
- S.D. standard deviation
- Ave average
- N total number of data points sampled
- xi, xj ith, jth value of power data
point in kW
- i index variable in standard deviation formula
- j index variable in average formula.
