This report describes microcomputer-based software designed to evaluate capital investment in customer-side-of-the-meter load leveling battery systems. Load leveling battery systems reduce a customer's monthly electrical demand charge by reducing the maximum power load supplied by the utility during the customer's peak demand. The system consists of a large array of batteries, a converter that changes AC current into DC current (or DC current into AC current), and balance-of-plant equipment and facilities required to support the battery and converter system. Using the software described in this report, the economic feasibility of load leveling systems can easily be evaluated to determine if more detailed studies are warranted. A computer diskette is included.
