Analysis: What Does This Simulation Prove?
What this proves: The effekttariff system correctly identifies and tracks your top 3 consumption peaks
during peak hours (07:00-21:00). After a brief learning phase, the system establishes a baseline and begins
calculating optimal current limits. This scenario uses a realistic Swedish household profile with morning and
evening peaks typical of work-from-home or family households. The comparison shows how the system would track
your consumption patterns even without active battery intervention.

Why No Savings? This simulation has no battery configured. The effekttariff node outputs a
current limit signal, but without a battery to discharge, there's nothing to cover the difference when
consumption exceeds the limit. The grid must supply all power, so peaks cannot be reduced.
What This Shows: The system correctly tracks your top 3 peaks during
peak hours and calculates your effektavgift at approximately 250 SEK/month.
This monitoring alone is valuable for understanding your consumption patterns.
To Actually Reduce Peaks: You need a battery that can discharge during high-consumption moments.
The node tells your ESS "limit grid to X amps" - the battery covers the rest. See the batteryCharging
scenario for a 40-50% reduction example, potentially saving
100-125 SEK/month.
