Abstract
Systems and methods for minimizing demand charges includes generating historical demand profiles having a plurality of demand charge threshold (DCT) values over a period of time, filtering the DCT values using weighting factors to provide filtered DCT values such that DCT underestimations and overestimations are removed from optimization, determining an optimal DCT output value from the filtered DCT values such that the optimal DCT output value is based on the historical demand profiles and the weighting factors, and distributing energy in one or more batteries in accordance with the optimal DCT output value and current energy demand to minimize energy and demand charges.
