Effekttariff Simulation Report

What this proves: High-power events like EV charging (often 7-11 kW) or sauna use (6-9 kW) create significant peaks that dramatically increase your effekttariff. This simulation shows how a few hours of EV charging on specific days can dominate your monthly peak average. Without intervention, these spikes become your billing peaks. With a battery system, these peaks can be shaved by discharging stored energy during the high-consumption events. This is where the effekttariff system provides the most value - targeting exactly these problematic hours.

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 400 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 160-200 SEK/month.
