can help reduce power usage during periods of

 

peak demand by shifting some power

 

consumption to periods when demand is lower.

 

For instance, in peak hours of power

 

consumption such as in the daytime in the

 

summer, the power consumed from the AC

 

power source is automatically stopped and the

 

battery is used for PC operation. The AC power

 

can then be used to charge the battery during

 

periods where power demand is reduced (such

 

as at night), thereby reducing the load during

 

peak periods.
