Application 7: Time of Use (TOU) Energy Cost Management

TOU Energy Cost Management, as a “behind the meter” application, is analogous to the utility scale time-shift application for energy storage in that it focuses on reducing peak energy consumption. In this application the energy storage device would be charged during less-expensive off-peak time periods. By discharging the device during more expensive peak periods, an end-user can reduce their electricity costs (Baxter, 2006).
