1. A controller for an electrical power system, the controller comprising:
a memory to store
a meter read schedule comprising anticipated meter read occurrences, wherein the anticipated meter read occurrences are based on when demand windows are expected to end, and
a demand setpoint representing a desired upper limit of demand of an electrical power system;
one or more processors operably coupled to the memory and configured to:
adjust the demand setpoint during a billing period;
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;
determine multiple demand setpoint reset points based on the anticipated meter read occurrences, wherein the multiple demand setpoint reset points include, for each respective anticipated meter read occurrence, a first demand setpoint reset point at the respective anticipated meter read occurrence, a second demand setpoint reset point at a first time interval after the respective anticipated meter read occurrence, and a third demand setpoint reset point at a second time interval before the respective anticipated meter read occurrence, wherein the first time interval and the second time interval are each less than a length of a demand window associated with the respective anticipated meter read occurrence; and
reset the demand setpoint multiple times at the first, second, and third demand setpoint reset points.
