When it's over 100 degrees outside after dusk and A/C set for 77 degrees, indoor temperature grows very fast if A/C is not running. However my DIY "Smart Demand" system described earlier on this forum is mitigating demand spikes with A/C pretty well keeping demand level under 5kW. Please see a screenshot above
However I cannot convince anybody in my family to save ANY electricity during peak time. Showing them $33.48 charge for running a dryer just for 20 minutes together with oven during peak time doesn't make any effect. They simply don't care. Hence the solution should be purely technical without touching human habits
This is how that $33.48 is calculated per E-27 plan from SRP for 7.1kW demand peak on 4/29/21 shown on a screenshot above:
First three kilowatts of 7.1kW:
3kW x $3.49 = $10.47
Next 4.1 kilowatts (7.1kW-3kW):
4.1kW x $5.58 = $22.87
Total: $33.48
