Abstract
Some embodiments are systems which calculate the amount of electric power that a peak mitigation system provides in real time and translate that information into a real-time estimate of a peak utility usage charge that appears on the utility bill of the customer. These systems may facilitate a determination of the monetary value of demand charges saved by peak mitigation and load leveling and a notification to a customer of the savings realized. Some systems described herein provide a method of billing a customer based on the electricity usage savings accumulated through demand charge reduction procedures. One embodiment monitors the mitigation of peak loads as they occur, detects and measures incremental changes in demand charge-producing peaks and updates a projection when incremental demand charge changes occur. The demand charge projection may be presented to the customer, aggregated with demand charge projections of other sites, and displayed to increase awareness.
