Describe the bug
A user reported a case where the retail rates dispatch fails to take advantage of a price differential because of differences in load - the largest load is at the lowest cost times and this prevents the battery from charging.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
-
Download and open the attached case
BTM Battery Examples.zip
-
Run the file
-
See a lot less battery charging and discharging than expected.
Expected behavior
Retail rates dispatch was written before we had a stand-alone battery model. Re-examine the charging and discharging assumptions with a stand alone battery in mind.
