ABSTRACT:
A time-of-use watt-hour meter is provided with demand profile capability that defines a plurality of survey periods and demand intervals. During each survey period, electrical consumption is measured during a plurality of demand intervals. The highest measured interval demand occurring during each survey period is saved and compared to the highest interval demands for subsequent survey periods. The five highest interval demands occurring during a billing period are saved for inspection by both the electric utility and the consumer. The use of the survey periods and demand intervals has the beneficial affect of avoiding clusters of peak periods occurring during a single sustained period of high electrical consumption. The results of the demand profile data compilation can be viewed at the watt-hour meter or remotely.
