Given a utility has demand charges, when you go to the project phase, then you can turn on demand management for the project in the details. You will be required to enter a kW demand cap. Upon saving, Sighten will automatically smooth your demand during on-peak hours to ensure your demand does not exceed the cap. The Sighten demand model will consider solar, storage and EE enhancements and their impact on demand. If the post project profile can be successfully shifted during peak hours, you will receive a green toast message saying the update was successful. The model does not remove any usage, it just redistributes under the max cap. Thus, it is possible to specify a demand cap that does not that does not allow the demand to be shifted. When a failure occurs, the min required cap will be displayed and the profile will not be updated. You can easily update the max cap, and re-apply the demand management.
