I am trying to use a rates structure which calculates costs for energy and demand using daily kWh and daily peak kW values. I was able to create a UtilityCost:Tariff object, with a real time pricing schedule which references a Schedule:Compact object or a Schedule:File object.
From my understanding, this could potentially calculate the energy charges (based on kWh) based on the schedule charges. Is there a way to do the same based on daily peak kW? From reading the I/O reference in energyplus, it looks like I can't apply a rate structure based on the daily peak kW, as the UtilityCost:Tariff and all the different UtilityCost:Charge: objects are based on a monthly demand structure. Is this right? Or am i missing something? Additionally, any tips/tricks where I could make this work will also be appreciated! Thanks.
