Dear Paul,
Kindly find attached my SAM file, beside my manual calculation file :
note that:
system capacity = 150 MW- DC
grid limit = 60 MW - AC
Battery storage = 240 MWh , and 60 MW power
the system is supposed to generate around 250 TWh - 270 TWh / year, since we have solar irradiance from 1650 - 1800 Kwh/Kwp in Israel and Territories
if you tracing my excel file for any day in August for example, you can see that the system during the day hour generate and supply the grid directly unless the generation is beyond the 60 MW (grid limit), then the surplus feed in the charging of the batteries and finally in the evening the batteries discharge to the grid.
that didn't match with SAM calculations even I chooses different dispatch criteria to the battery storage, and the affect my financial model and made it in negative.
please can you advise.
and another simple question, if the land of the project is leasing and not purchased, how can I reflect the in the model, ?? added the leasing cost to the O&M
Best Regards
Rami
