Modeling demand response and TOU rates

Hello. I am trying to model a BTM solar paired with storage system in a scenario in which the system is both subject to TOU rates and a utility demand response requirement. Is it possible to model that?

Thanks!

Hello,

SAM can model an electricity rate structure that includes both energy charges and demand charges, and both may involve time-of-use (TOU) and/or tiered rates.

For a behind-the-meter (BTM) project, grid usage depends on the electric load, solar production, and battery dispatch. You can adjust those to meet demand response requirements.

Best regards,
Paul.
