The electricity tariff is a powerful tool to encourage customers to modify their electricity consumption behavior. A significant portion of power energy is devoted to the commercial sector which has a notable contribution in the power grid peak load. In this article, we consider a commercial customer equipped with a solar panel and batteries as our case study. We analyze the effects of time of use (TOU) and maximum demand (MD) tariffs on the power exchange. Next, the sensitivity analysis of the load profile to the MD and battery characteristics is performed. Using the optimization and sensitivity analysis information, the optimum MD tariff rates for a group of the commercial customers is calculated to release the maximum network capacity in the power grid. The optimization in this study is formulated such that the interests of both the customers and the utilities are served.

商业负载曲线对电费和电池特性的敏感性分析

电价是鼓励客户改变用电行为的有力工具。电力能源的很大一部分用于商业部门，对电网高峰负荷有显着贡献。在本文中，我们将一个配备太阳能电池板和电池的商业客户作为我们的案例研究。我们分析了使用时间 (TOU) 和最大需求 (MD) 关税对电力交换的影响。接下来，进行负载曲线对 MD 和电池特性的敏感性分析。利用优化和敏感性分析信息，计算出一组商业客户的最优MD费率，以释放电网中的最大网络容量。
