Abstract
An energy system of a building includes a power storage device, and a controller that, during a period of time for which energy costs are lowest, charges a power storage device to a maximum state of charge, and during a period of time for which energy costs are not lowest and an immediate subsequent period of time is predicted to have higher energy costs, charges the power storage device to a target state of charge that is less than the maximum state of charge and that depends on predicted power demand during the subsequent period of time.
