MIN-MONTHLY-CHGMIN-PEAK-LOADby <strong>DOE</strong> for life-cycle costing analysis of facilities, and isprovided for guidance only. The local utility may be ableto provide more accurate information, and should be consulted.Note that the table does not include recommendedrates for Alaska, Delaware, Hawaii, and Missouri--informationthat was not readily available.specifies the minimum cost (in dollars) per month, for theresource being specified, regardless of the amount of energyused. Data entry for this keyword is made only when thistype of billing arrangement has been established by customerutilityagreement. The program calculates the monthly costs,based on both energy usage (uniform or block charges) anddemand, compares these costs to the user input forMIN-MONTHLY-CHARGE, and uses the higher value.specifies the minimum peak load to be used in determiningmonthly demand charges. Data entry for this keyword is madeonly in the event that the customer-utility agreement specifiesa minimum demand surcharge and is used by the programin the following manner: The PLANT program calculates a peakload for each month, then computes the value for a year onthat basis. Then the peak load for that month is averagedeach month with annual peak load and either the value thusobtained or the user-entered MIN-PEAK-LOAD, whichever isgreater, is multiplied by the peak load unit cost (seekeyword PEAK-LOAD-CHG, below) to obtain a demand-relatedsurcharge, which is added to the basic energy charges.PEAK-LOAD-CHG specifies the cost in dollars for each unit of demand. Thiscost is multiplied by the averaged monthly demand or theMIN-PEAK-LOAD (see keyword MIN-PEAK-LOAD above for discusSionof how the program determines the average monthly demand toobtain the monthly demand-related surcharge).V.86 (Revised 5/81)
