PEAK-DEMAND SCENARIO

Worked example

Four 6 kW units starting together create 24 kW of coincident load. At $15/kW, the demand-cost scenario is $360 per billing month. A staggered schedule may reduce coincidence, but actual demand intervals and tariffs vary.

Formula: units × rated kW × coincident share × demand rate.

How to use this: Treat the result as a scenario, not a quote or forecast. Verify equipment specifications, utility tariffs, code requirements and local costs.
