Methods, systems, and apparatuses for the reset of a setpoint for committed demand

A controller for an electrical power system, the controller comprising:

• one or more processors to:
• receive a meter read schedule comprising anticipated meter read occurrences, including an anticipated meter read occurrence based on when a current demand window for an electrical system is anticipated to end;
• initialize a demand setpoint representing a desired upper limit of demand of an electrical power system during a next demand window, which is subsequent to the current demand window;
• predict a load of the electrical system during the next demand window;
• optimize an objective function for the electrical system to determine an optimized scenario for operation of the electrical system, according to the initialized demand setpoint and the predicted load of the electrical system;
• reset the demand setpoint multiple times at different reset points around the anticipated meter read occurrence, according to the optimized scenario;
• and
• provide at least one control value to the electrical power system to effectuate a change to the electrical power system to attempt to comply with the demand setpoint during the next demand window.

A controller for an electrical power system, the controller comprising:

• a memory to store:
• a meter read schedule comprising an anticipated meter read occurrence when a current demand window is anticipated to end, and
• a demand setpoint representing a desired upper limit of demand of an electrical power system during a next demand window, which is subsequent to the current demand window;
• and
• one or more processors operably coupled to the memory and configured to:
• forecast a demand peak during the next demand window;
• reset the demand setpoint multiple times around the anticipated meter read occurrence, according to the forecasted demand peak;
• and
• provide at least one control value to the electrical power system to effectuate a change to the electrical power system to attempt to comply with the demand setpoint during the next demand window.

A computer implemented method for control of an electrical power system, the method comprising:
