Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)

Consumers have similar daily patterns of electricity usage, and this causes peaks in demand. Spikes in electricity demand are inefficient for electricity producers and unnecessary costs are passed on to electricity consumers. Localized solar and battery systems are one way to ‘spread out’ electricity demand and reduce the amount of electricity sent through the grid at a given time. We created a model that describes the reduction in consumer demand by implementing a solar energy generation and battery storage system. Our model predicts >75% decrease in oscillations, and >5% decrease in costs.
