Abstract
Demand of a facility load for electrical energy is monitored and compared to a demand cap for a demand period. A demand cap may be set for peak periods, another demand cap may be set for part-peak periods, and yet another demand cap may be set for off-peak periods. Dispatch of electrical energy from the energy storage system is based on the demand of the facility load relative to the demand cap.
