Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) has been collaborating with NC state on developing battery dispatch and valuation methodologies for capacity charge reduction. The proposed dispatch method consists of two steps: 1) determine whether a BESS is used on an operating day based on the peak-day probability, and 2) determine the optimal dispatch based on peak-hour probabilities. The peak-day and peak-hour probabilities are determined assuming the dispatch of the BESS will not affect the peak hour of the month, ignoring the potential risk of shifting the DEP monthly peak demand.
