Electricity Rates Stochastic Modelling was created by jzg0130
Hello,
I'm trying to evaluate different combinations of electricity rates by doing a stochastic analysis of all the possible combinations, however ive noticed that when i set the parameters and distributions i get the same results for all the simulations. Is there anyone who can give me some advice in this area?

Hi Jose,

The electricity rate inputs for energy and demand charges in SAM are tables of data rather than single values, so are not well-suited for SAM's stochastic simulations. The table structure makes it possible to model time-of-use and tiered rate structures.

Stochastic and parametric simulations work best with variables that are single values.

Best regards,
Paul.
