AMD & TOU

Lower Demand Costs. Use Energy at Smarter Times.

Your electricity bill is not only about how much energy you use.
For many businesses, short periods of high demand and different electricity pricing throughout the day can significantly affect energy costs.
Savvy Power intelligently controls your battery to help manage demand and use stored energy when it can provide greater value.

What Is AMD?

Anytime Maximum Demand

AMD measures the highest level of electricity demand recorded by your site during a billing period.
A short period of high power consumption can create a significant demand peak, even when your overall energy consumption is relatively normal.
Savvy Power monitors your site’s demand patterns and can use available battery capacity to help reduce grid demand during important peak periods.
The Goal
Reduce demand exposure without disrupting your business operations.

What Is TOU Pricing?

Time-of-Use Electricity Pricing

Time-of-use pricing means the cost of electricity can vary depending on when you use it.
Electricity may be priced differently across:
Off-Peak
Lower-cost periods when demand on the network is typically lower.
Shoulder
Intermediate pricing periods between peak and off-peak times.
Savvy Power can use your battery strategically around these pricing windows.

Lower AMD and Use Energy at Smarter Times

Savvy Power helps reduce demand cost exposure and time of use energy costs by controlling when the battery charges and discharges.
Electricity bills are not only based on how much energy you use. For many sites, costs can also be affected by short demand spikes, capacity charges and time of use pricing windows.
Savvy Power monitors the site and controls the battery so it can reduce grid demand during highload periods. The system can also charge when electricity is lower value and use stored energy during higher value or higher demand periods.
This allows the battery to work with a clearer purpose and helps the site respond more intelligently to demand and pricing conditions.

What is AMD?

The goal is a better energy outcome: lower costs, improved efficiency, more confidence and a solution that fits your future needs.

What is TOU Pricing?

Time of use pricing means electricity costs can change depending on the time of day. Off peak and shoulder periods are usually cheaper than peak periods.

How Savvy Power Helps

The battery can charge during lower value periods and discharge during high demand or higher cost periods.

Result

Lower AMD exposure and better TOU energy use can help reduce overall power bill pressure.
