Applications Used: QuESt Behind-The-Meter
Use:
Reducing High Utility Peak Demand Charges
Feedback:
“The tool takes the many complex variables/data points pertaining to system size (kW), discharge duration (kWH), time frames, and respective utility schedules, and distills them into sortable tables that ultimately allow comprehensive comparison and payback analysis for various system configurations. Without this data-driven decision model, our system considerations would have been primarily guesswork.”
