Effekttariff Simulation Report

What this proves: Some Swedish grid companies like Kungälv Energi offer a 50% "nattsänkning" (night discount) on consumption between 22:00-06:00. This means if you consume 6 kW at night, only 3 kW counts toward your peak average. This simulation has intentionally high night consumption (6 kW) and lower daytime consumption (3 kW) to demonstrate this feature. The effective peak values should show night peaks at half their actual value. This encourages shifting high-power activities (like EV charging) to nighttime 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 150 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 60-75 SEK/month.
