Peak Shaving Control Mode

• The electricity bill in some regions is calculated as follows: Total electricity bill = Cost at peak power + cost for electricity usage + other costs. Wherein, peak power refers to the maximum power imported from the grid. This mode is suitable for areas with peak and valley electricity prices and significant price differences.

• The Peak Shaving function can be used with all working modes, configuring the maximum peak power drawn from the grid to reduce the maximum peak power drawn from the grid during peak periods, thereby lowering the electricity bill.

Example 1: Self-Consumption Mode Settings for Peak Shaving

Assume that the peak shaving SOC is set to 50% and the maximum peak power is 2kW. Because Total electricity bill = Cost at peak power + cost for electricity usage + other costs. Wherein, peak power refers to the maximum power imported from the grid. After Self-Consumption Mode is set to Peak Shaving, the power purchased from the grid drops from 5 kW to 2 kW, so the total electricity bill is reduced.

Example 2: Time-based Control Mode Settings for Peak Shaving

Assume that the peak shaving SOC is set to 50% and the maximum peak power is 2kW. Because Total electricity bill = Cost at peak power + cost for electricity usage + other costs. Wherein, peak power refers to the maximum power imported from the grid. After Time-based Control Mode is set to Peak Shaving, the power purchased from the grid drops from 5 kW to 2 kW, so the total electricity bill is reduced.
