Is there a way to model a complex electric rate for thermal energy storage in OpenStudio or EnergyPlus?

Is there a way to input a complex electric rate for thermal energy storage in OpenStudio 1.10 or EnergyPlus 8.4? I am modeling a chilled water plant with thermal storage (ice), and would like to get an estimate for what the electric costs would be. Attached is the electric rate structure for thermal energy storage and a screenshot of the OS measure "tariff selection time and date dependent with maximum demand charge". Does anyone know of an OS measure that will include all of the information for this rate structure, or prefereably someway to do this in OS, even if it involves using a text editor? If not, how could this be input into EnergyPlus IDF Editor?
