Buildings.Electrical.Utilities.Controllers.StateMachineVoltCtrl
This model represents a simple voltage controller that unplug a load when there is a voltage fluctuation higher that a given threshold.
Information
Function that implements a state machine that detects voltage
deviations. If the voltage input V exceeds the
nominal value V_nominal by more than 1+Vtr
then the control signal y becones zero for
a period equal to tDelay.
A signal y = 0 can be used to turn off a load.
Parameters

| Real | vThresh | 0.1 | Threshold that activates voltage ctrl (ratio of nominal voltage) |
| Time | tDelay | 300 | Time to wait before plugging the load back [s] |
