I'm not aware of any optimization for TES in E+; a quick search of the documentation for the text 'optimiz' or 'optimis' might get you what you need.
As for controlling based on the peak pricing, you will likely have to import the pricing signal as a schedule, and use the energy management system language to roll your own algorithm/logic for controlling the TES.
To your last question, you can output the hourly (8760) results from your simulation (they should come out automatically from the DOE models), then use your favorite analysis software (Excel works in a pinch) to pull out the records for the peak/off peak hours separately and sum/average them as you see fit.
DView may have the ability to filter by hour of day or day of year - i'm not sure.
Good luck!
