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.
