Minimum Limit Enforcement - Tests that minimum limit is respected with very low consumption
Analysis: What Does This Simulation Prove?
What this proves: The system has a configurable minimum limit (default 4 kW) to ensure you
always have enough power for basic needs. Even if your peaks are very low (this simulation uses constant 1 kW),
the output limit never drops below the minimum. This prevents the system from being too aggressive and cutting
off power when you need it. The minimum should be set based on your essential loads (refrigerator, heating
circulation pumps, etc.) that must always run.

Effektavgift portion
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 50 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 30-40% reduction example, potentially saving
20-25 SEK/month.
