Effekttariff Simulation Report

What this proves: Real household consumption is unpredictable - cooking, heating, appliances turn on and off randomly throughout the day. This simulation uses pseudo-random consumption (1-6 kW range) over 30 days to verify the system handles highly variable loads without errors or incorrect peak tracking. The system must reliably identify the true top peaks even when consumption fluctuates significantly. This proves the algorithm is robust enough for real-world deployment where patterns are never perfectly predictable.

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 280 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 112-140 SEK/month.
