Analysis: What Does This Simulation Prove?
What this proves: Swedish effekttariff is calculated monthly - your peaks reset at the start
of each new month. This simulation spans 35 days (crossing from January into February) to verify that the system
correctly clears all recorded peaks at the month boundary. This is critical because it means each month you get
a fresh start to optimize your consumption. The system must track this reset to provide accurate limit calculations
for the new billing period.

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 225 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
90-113 SEK/month.
