745 zero load during grid outage#741

Hmmm... maybe further discussion is necessary. In using the attached project file, the dc connected electricity bill savings are: and ac connected (same configuration) are: (varying seems okay based on differences in annual energy and battery sizing - however, I would not like to explain the differences!) |

…appear in the unmet losses column, not in gen

@sjanzou Ah, thanks for testing those additional cases. There were some situations where unmet losses were slipping through and pushing negative numbers into gen - which counted as small demand charges. I've cleaned that up in the latest push, and now see zero for all "electricity bill savings" locally. |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Looks good - should probably confirm this is the desired behavior at the Puerto Rico meeting...

Grid outage added as an hourly output, as per discussion at the SAM team meeting. @cpaulgilman Does the label still make sense given that it's an output?
Perhaps it should be "grid outage in this timestep"? |

"Grid outage in this time step" is good. |
This means if the outage is a full year, the utility bill without system and the utility bill with system will just consist of fixed costs. This is a big change, so I'm happy to wait to merge the PR until we've had a chance to talk through the downstream effects at a meeting.
