| 307 | +### Working with other actors to control PV inverters and EV chargers |
| 308 | +
|
| 309 | +The power manager reconciles power proposals for PV inverters and EV chargers |
| 310 | +similarly to batteries, but with one key difference: |
| 311 | +
|
| 312 | +There is no shifting of operating point between actors, and the powers are not |
| 313 | +added together. |
| 314 | +
|
| 315 | +Higher priority actors can strictly limit the bounds available to lower priority |
| 316 | +actors, but the power proposals by lower priority actors take precedence, as |
| 317 | +long as they are within the bounds set by higher priority actors. |
| 318 | +
|
| 319 | +This is because PV inverters can only produce power (negative power according to |
| 320 | +the PSC), and EV chargers can only consume power (positive power according to |
| 321 | +the PSC), and shifting bounds would make ranges available to actors that a PV |
| 322 | +inverter or EV charger can't operate in. |
| 323 | +

| 326 | +| Actor | Priority | Available Bounds | Requested Bounds | Requested Power | Adjusted Power | |
| 327 | +|------:|---------:|-----------------:|-----------------:|----------------:|---------------:| |
| 328 | +| A | 4 | -100kW .. 0W | -90kW .. 0kW | -20kW | -20kW | |
| 329 | +| B | 3 | -90kW .. 0kW | -75kW .. -20kW | -50kW | -50kW | |
| 330 | +| C | 2 | -75kW .. -20kW | None | -100kW | -75kW | |
| 331 | +| D | 1 | -75kW .. -20kW | -60kW .. -60kW | -60kW | -60kW | |
| 332 | +| E | 0 | -60kW .. -60kW | None | -20kW | -60kW | |
| 333 | +| | | | | Final Power | -60kW | |
| 334 | +
|
| 335 | +1. Actor A with the highest priority has access to the entire range of the PV |
| 336 | + inverters. In this case `-100kW .. 0W`. |
| 337 | +
|
| 338 | +2. It wants to limit production to a maximum of `-90kW`, so it sets bounds of |
| 339 | + `-90kW .. 0W`. It also proposes a power of `-20kW`. If there are no lower |
| 340 | + priority actors, that power will get set to the inverters. But here, it gets |
| 341 | + *overridden* by lower priority actors. |
| 342 | +
|
| 343 | +3. Actor B limits the bounds further, and proposes its preferred power. |
| 344 | +
|
| 345 | +4. Actor C proposes `-100kW`, which is outside of what Actor B has allowed, so it |
| 346 | + gets clamped to `-75kW`, which is the closest Actor C can get to its requested |
| 347 | + power in its available range of `-75kW .. -20kW`. |
| 348 | +
|
| 349 | +5. Actor D wants exactly `-60kW`, so it clamps the bounds to `-60kW .. -60kW`, and |
| 350 | + sets `-60kW`, making sure Actor E or other lower priority actors can't change |
| 351 | + the power further. |
| 352 | +
|
| 353 | +
|
307 | 354 | ## Withdrawing power proposals |
308 | 355 |
|
309 | 356 | An actor can withdraw its power proposal by calling `propose_power` with `None` |
