Take control of your demand charges
A demand charge is set by a single 15-minute spike in power use that can drive up your costs for the entire billing cycle. Torus Reserve monitors your load in real time and discharges stored energy before the spike reaches your meter, keeping your peak low automatically, every cycle.
How it works
1
Torus sets a demand limit for your facility
Torus analyzes your historical load profile, then sets a ceiling on the amount of power you pull from the grid. As the system collects more data from your facility, it refines its demand forecast and adjusts the ceiling accordingly.
2
The system monitors your draw in real time
Torus measures power consumption right after the meter and continuously learns your facility’s demand patterns. When demand is below the limit, the system charges its battery storage and prepares for the next spike.
AI that adapts to your load
Torus Reserve’s built-in software delivers power the moment you need it. Machine learning learns your load patterns and adjusts your demand limit automatically.
3
When demand crosses the limit, Torus discharges
The moment facility demand exceeds the limit, stored energy discharges automatically to cover the gap, so your meter never reads the spike.
4
Your demand charge reflects the cap, not the spike
The peak that would have set your demand charge for the month stays at the limit Torus set. When demand drops, the system exits peak shave mode and recharges during low-use periods, staying below the demand threshold while it replenishes.
