Loadshifting or Time-Based Control

Time-Based Control

Time-Based Control (also referred to as load shifting) helps you maximise savings through smart charging and discharging of your battery. If your electricity prices vary during the day, you are likely on a Time-of-Use rate plan, and Time-Based Control would present the best economic value for your system. Time-of-Use energy plans are energy rate structures where electricity prices may vary depending on the time of day, the day itself or the season. Energy retailers usually break time-of-use plans into three periods:

  • Peak: High energy demand hours with most expensive prices
  • Off-Peak: Low energy demand hours with least expensive prices
  • Shoulder: All other times
