Analysis: What Does This Simulation Prove?
What this proves: Many Swedish grid companies only apply effekttariff during winter months
(typically November through March) when grid load is highest. This simulation starts in October (off-season)
and runs into December (in-season) to show that peaks are only recorded from November onwards. During summer
months, your consumption doesn't affect your effekttariff at all. This is important for planning - you can
use high power freely in summer without worrying about peaks!

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 275 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
110-138 SEK/month.
