Hi There,
I had simulated a (Behind the meter) Detailed PV-Battery Model. The dispatch algorithm was set manual for 4 hours from 7pm to 11pm and charging during the rest of the day. The charging and discharging from the grid is disabled.
As per the manual discharge set, it works perfectly.
For charging, I do understand that the default algorithm supports the load first and the excess charges the battery based on C RATE and the maximum charging power. But I find that there is a issue with the charging part.
The results of the simulation shows that the load is supported first and the excess is shown as being "exported to the grid" and also the battery being charged at the same time. But the as per the simulation numbers, the excess after the load is shown as the grid export T
he battery charging power is not subtracted from the grid excess power. Hence the numbers dont match.
This also happens when the PV power is
lower than the (load + battery charging power) combined.
My question is why the
(Electricity to Grid = Psolar - Pload - PBat) is not as per the equation.
But instead
(Electricity to Grid = Psolar - Pload ) but at the same time the battery is being charged. This reflects a wrong number, being exported to the grid, for that hour.
I have attached the simulated results.
Would appreciate if someone can comment and help on this.
Thanks.
