Potential electricity bill reduction in university building through load shifting strategy

In Malaysia, medium voltage commercial consumers are charged base on two tariffs i.e. Monthly electricity consumption in kWh and Maximum demand in kW for that particular month. To reduce electricity bill, it is obvious that the consumer need to reduce their electricity consumption by installing ener...
