Time of use Periods

Hello guys,

I am building a custom rate structure using SamUl script and was wondering if and how i can use the setInput SamUL function to set the time of use periods. In the Input variables pull down menu I cannot locate any variables representing time of use periods.

essentially I want SamUl script to be able to read in a custom rate structure from an excel file where the user can set all parameters i.e.(buy and sell prices at each tier and for different time of use periods.



Thanks

Dear Garrett,

The TOU periods are set using two 288x1 arrays: ur_ec_sched_weekday and ur_ec_sched_weekend. Valid values for each element of the array are the numbers 1-9, and letters A-C (for TOU periods 10, 11, and 12). You will have to experiment a bit to see how the hour-by-month table maps to the array: I think the first 24 elements of the array are the TOU periods for January, then elements 25-48 are for February, etc.

Best regards,
Paul.
