Time-of-use (ToU) pricing is widely used by the electricity utility to shave peak load. Such a pricing scheme provides users with incentives to invest in behind-the-meter energy storage and to
View Details
Users with storage can purchase more electricity (by charging the storage) during the off-peak hours with a lower price. During the peak hours, users can discharge the storage to serve the demand with
