Hi Henry,
This is a bug in the price signal forecast battery dispatch algorithm:
github.com/NREL/ssc/issues/843. Thank you for helping us find that.
We will fix that for the next version of SAM.
In the meantime, as a workaround for the demand rates in your file, you could reassign the rates to the demand rates by month table as I did in the attached version of your file.
Best regards,
Paul.
