The demand controller works across multiple functions involved ...
Peak demand management does not necessarily decrease total energy consumption, but could be expected to reduce the need for investments in networks and/or power plants for meeting peak demands. An example is the use of energy storage units to store energy during off-peak hours and discharge them during peak hours.
This philosophy of managing demand accepts that meeting unfettered demand for travel is impractical and that therefore the system needs to be managed.

In microeconomics, supply and demand is an economic model of price determination in a market.It postulates that, holding all else equal, the unit price for a particular good or other traded item in a perfectly competitive market, will vary until it settles at the market-clearing price, where the quantity demanded equals the quantity supplied ...
Demands occur one at a time (no batch orders) Unfilled demand is back-ordered (no lost sales) Replenishment lead times are fixed and known; Replenishments are ordered one at a time; Demand is modeled by a continuous probability distribution; There is a fixed cost associated with a replenishment order
