Optimal Thermostat Programming for Peak and Time-of-Use Pricing Plans with Thermal Energy Storage and Implications for Regulated Utilities
IEEE Transactions on Power Systems, Vol. 32, No. 4, 2017, pp. 2714-2723.
[arXiv] [.pdf] [.ps]

Summary: Recently, utilities such as SRP and APS have begun to charge consumers partly based on the maximum rate of electricity consumption (demand charges). Because buildings absorb and release heat during the day, these demand charges make programming even simple 4-setpoint thermostats a complicated mathematical challenge. In this paper, we solve the math problem and post the code for programming your thermostat online.
