Abstract: Peak reduction is an important problem in the context of the electricity grid and has led to conservation programs in various jurisdictions. For example, in Ontario, Canada, residential customers are charged higher prices during peak times, while large industrial and commercial customers pay heavy surcharges that depend on their load during Ontario’s five peak-demand days. Reducing these surcharges is a challenging problem for large consumers due to the difficulty of predicting peak days in advance.
