Abstract:
A computer-implemented method, system, and computer program product are provided for demand charge management. The method includes receiving an active power demand for a facility, a current load demand charge threshold (DCT) profile for the facility, and a plurality of previously observed load DCT profiles. The method also includes generating a data set of DCT values based on the current load DCT profile for the facility and the plurality of previously observed load DCT profiles. The method additionally includes forecasting a next month DCT value for the facility using the data set of DCT values. The method further includes preventing actual power used from a utility from exceeding the next month DCT value by discharging a battery storage system into a behind the meter power infrastructure for the facility.
