Paul, Here's some additional actual data which might better show what I'm trying to model. Note that the battery discharges smoothly from about 6 pm until 8:30 am the next morning, when it starts recharging.
The actual results from that day shows very little grid usage, and 0.2 imported from the grid overnight.
I'm trying to have SAM reflect this type of scenario, which would show very little grid usage, and the battery handling after dark hours. (assuming proper weather conditions, beginning SOC, etc...)
So far, I haven't been unable to manipulate the settings to yield such results. I have looked at SOC Lifetime Hourly Data, which seems "reasonable", yet monthly values for battery to load remain at approx. 20 kwH (+/-) versus the 150 kWh (+/-) that I'm seeing in real time.
Thanks again for taking a look! Bill
