Paul, I just joined the forum and trying to do a simple yearly 8760 dispatch AC coupled solar + storage with the following:
- xxx MW solar facility - I have the 8760 profile (no need for weather or geography data)
- xxx MW battery that can discharge over 4 hours and 365 days a year cycling constraint
- battery will discharge each day when there is enough solar from HE 17-20 (4 hours of equal discharge)
- battery can only charge from the solar and if i provide an 8760 price profile - I would like to charge it during low priced hours
- .88 storage loss factor
- with 1 year data - I don't have to worry about solar and battery degradation
I don't care about financials off the model or the technical set up of the solar and battery facility - just simple dispatch profile. Hoping to set up a simple model where I can add other solar profiles and different battery sizes where I can plug and play with:
- new price curves
- cycling constraints
Cheers,
Ian
