Hi,
I am trying to model PV-Battery system with load data which allows us to export from the battery to the grid at a time when our rate for energy to the grid is very favourable. In South Africa our "peak" export rate is significantly higher than standard or off peak time so it will likely make financial sense to do this. I have modeled the system, loads and tariffs etc. but I cannot get the system to export energy from the battery from the grid. Is it possible to do this in SAM?
This question is very similar to the one that Barbara asked at the link below, but I don't think was answered properly:
sam.nrel.gov/forum/forum-general/3134-pv-battery-load-where-the-battery-is-allowed-to-export-energy-to-grid.html
I have also attached the SAM file for your reference, the scenario where I would have tried to model battery-export-to-grid is named "Model 1 3000 kWh Battery - Battery Export During Peak Periods"
Thanks in advance for your help,
Craig
