I was curious to know if there are steps to follow to incorporate/model DR income when you have BTM solar and batteries going after a resiliency and demand charge management use case.  The project is in the CAISO market.  Thanks, Brian

Hi Brian,

I'm not familiar with the abbreviation "DR," but perhaps the Price Signal Forecast dispatch option would work for this?

SAM's behind-the-meter battery dispatch options all assume that the battery is being used to reduce the system owner's monthly electricity bill.

Inputs related to resiliency are on the Grid Outage page. The documentation for that page describes how those calculations work:

Best regards,
Paul.
