Fundamentals

Maximum Demand Calculator

Calculate interval-average kW values and report the highest reading position.

01 / Metered inputs

Fixed-interval energy readings

Interval-average demand = interval energy (kWh) / interval duration (h)

Every reading must cover the same fixed interval duration. Values are processed in entered order; an exact tied maximum reports the first position.

This is the maximum calculated from your interval series, not automatically a utility billing demand. Meter configuration and tariff rules are not inferred.

Maximum interval-average demand

Enter readings and interval duration

Results will appear here.

Method and boundaries

Each interval-average demand = interval kWh / common interval hours. The maximum is the first interval position when values tie.

Readings must represent equal fixed intervals. Rolling or unequal intervals, missing values, tariff rules and billing demand interpretation are outside this calculation.

FAQ

What does this calculator compute?

Each interval’s average demand is that interval’s kWh divided by the common interval length in hours. The reported maximum is the first interval when values tie.

What must the readings share?

Every reading must represent the same fixed interval length. The position reported is the interval index in the list you entered.

What is outside the calculation?

Rolling or unequal intervals, missing readings, tariff rules, and billing-demand interpretation are outside this calculation.
