For peaks and start-up, are these treated any differently in the model than normal load running? For peaks and start-up, are these treated any differently in the model than normal load running? No, but it is important to have startup and shutdown data in the model in…CMC SolutionsMay 14, 2020
If a critical input for the model goes out of specification and is dropped from the model, how do you monitor the change in accuracy and precision of the PEMS? If a second critical input has to be dropped (or more) at what point do you say a good prediction is no longer possible? If a critical input for the model goes out of specification and is dropped from the model, how do you monitor the change in accuracy and precision of the PEMS? If a second critical input has to be dropped (or more) at what point do you say a good prediction is no longer possible? Non-critical parameters are, by definition, not important in maintaining accuracy at the required level (usually…CMC SolutionsMay 14, 2020
