Simulation Program of Electricity Cost Saving Changing to Time of Use Rate

Abstract

This paper presents a simulation program of electricity cost saving changing to time of use rate(TOU) with the customer who wants to change their electricity rate from the normal rate or the time of day rate (TOD) to the time of use rate(TOU). According to the research, the electricity cost saving depends on the electrical energy consumption behavior which must be considered from much different information such as electrical energy consumption or total electrical unit per month, electricity energy ratio and load factor. This simulation program is developed on Microsoft Visual Studio to allow input of various electrical energy through the screen. Make the program user easy to use. And the customer can use the information on the electricity cost savings as a guideline for decision-making in changing the TOU rate.
