What is CBC-T?
With CBC-T, you can split your contracted capacity into two time blocks, each with its own consumption limit. This reflects how many real-world energy contracts work — for example, with a lower limit during peak hours and a higher limit overnight.
By reflecting the actual contractual limits that apply at different times, simulations become more accurate and realistic, resulting in improved cost calculations, savings estimates, and asset sizing.
More accurate than a single fixed daily limit
Supports more reliable cost and savings analysis in simulations
Asset sizing results better reflect real operating conditions
Create a CBC-T energy contract
Go to your Project and open Energy Contracts.
Select Create.
Set Limit Type to CBC-T.
Configure your two time blocks, each with its own contracted capacity limit.
Example: Block 1 — 07:00 to 23:00 at 50 kW; Block 2 — 23:00 to 07:00 at 100 kW.Review the live preview chart to confirm the time blocks look correct before saving.
Select Save.
Run a simulation with a CBC-T contract
Go to your Project and open Simulations.
Select New Simulation.
Select your CBC-T energy contract from the list, or create one inline at this step.
Run the simulation as normal.
CBC-T in simulation reports
When you view simulation results for a CBC-T contract, the contracted capacity appears as a dynamic limit line on report charts rather than a flat horizontal line. This makes it easy to see exactly when contracted capacity was reached or exceeded across different times of day.
The limit line shifts at each time block boundary, matching the limits you configured
Existing fixed contracts are not affected and continue to display as before
