8: Time of Use Function

8.1: Introduction

In response to both higher energy costs and concern for energy conservation (often-
times spurred on by governmental regulations), many utilities have adopted strate-
gies for load management. Time of Use (TOU) metering is one of these strategies. 
TOU is a means of accumulating usage during specified time periods with the purpose 
of billing with different rates for the different periods; for example, off-peak versus 
on-peak usage, and weekday versus weekend usage. So, a TOU usage structure takes 
into account both the quantity of energy used and the time at which it was consumed. 
TOU metering by utilities lets them charge a higher rate for electricity used when it is 
more expensive to produce and distribute, i.e., a Peak Demand period. In this way the 
utility tries to reward usage during lower demand periods and curtail usage during 
higher demand periods, by charging more or less for equivalent energy use. 

The Nexus® 1500+ meter's TOU function, available with the Communicator EXT

TM

 4.0 

software application, lets you set up a TOU profile to meet your application needs. It 
has been developed to offer a variety of programmable rate structures, for maximum 
flexibility. Once programmed, the Nexus® 1500+ meter's TOU function accumulates 
data based on the time-scheme you programmed into the meter. See the figure on 
the next page for a graphical representation of TOU.

See Chapter 15 of the
