PV-Battery Merchant Plant- battery not being used

Hello everyone, 

I'm running a Detailed PV-battery Merchant Plant simulation, where i was getting an error about "The generation is not sufficient to meet the ancillary markets requirements". So, i ran the same model in a ppa single owner simulation to get the dispatched output, and then uploaded that into the merchant model cleared capacity. However, the error continued, even with the numbers mention in the error being exactly the same (image attached).

So i replaced the cleared capacity with 0 in all the values. However, now my battery isn't being used by the system. The system sends energy to the grid, but not the battery. The same model, with the needed changes, work in a ppa simulation, but in this merchant plant, i can't get nay results. Can you help?

Thank you,
Ricardo Ferreira
