3-Peak Average

Definition

A 3-Peak Average is an advanced utility industry mathematical safeguard model fundamentally extracting the top three highest electrical demand (kW) peaks mathematically measured over a defined Backbilling Interval to equitably define a reasonable stabilized median demand ceiling for corporate billing constraints.

Business Purpose and Architecture

Instead of immediately charging an industrial consumer based solely on one isolated power anomaly that lasted 15 minutes, structural equity demands stabilization. Architecturally, the SAP variant engine searches iteratively backward through the Installation Facts for up to twelve consecutive historical periods. After aggregating every recorded active power maximum, the engine selects precisely the absolute highest three, mathematically averages them together, and compares that aggregated result strictly against physically measured minimums to generate a fair and balanced operational capacity line.
