Battery Dispatch "Retail rate dispatch" yields error

Hello, I am trying to get the Retail rate dispatch (price signals dispatch) to work.

When I try running it, I get this error:

exec fail(lib_utility_rate_equations): Demand rate Period 1 not found for Month 2.
Simulation pvsamv1 failed :Calculated negative global horizontal irradiance of -1.4559 W/m2 at time [y:20814 m:7 d:15 h:18 minute:30], set to zero.
monthly_grid_to_batt not assigned
Simulation cashloan failed :monthly_grid_to_batt not assigned


I have tried changing a few things, but the error is persisting. It looks like this error was once before "corrected" according to git:
Monthly TOU periods don't work for price signals forecast · Issue #843 · NREL/ssc · GitHub

I however, can not get this Battery Dispatch option to work.
Documentation on this error is sparse. I can not find any relevant forum posts, that would outline the solution.

I have attached the project I am trying this to get to work on. 

Thanks for the help.

Hi Erazem,

Thank you for letting us know about this issue. We will fix it in github.com/NREL/ssc/issues/1134 .

Unfortunately, I don't know of a workaround solution.

I agree this is related to github.com/NREL/ssc/issues/843 , but this is a different issue that will need to be fixed.

Best regards,
Paul.
