Describe the bug
The stand alone battery models should work for sub-hourly runs (and do, behind the meter) but the front of meter models don't have a well defined key for what determines the timestep. Setting up 15 minute PPA and dispatch data throws an error.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Set up a front of meter stand alone battery case
- Set the PPA time series to 15 minutes
- Set manual dispatch to 15 minutes
- Run the simulation
- See error
Attached SAM file is configured to reproduce the error:
standalone_battery_timestep_error.zip
Expected behavior
Stand alone battery should run with sub-hourly data in all configurations.
Screenshots

Desktop (please complete the following information):
- Version 2022.11.21, 2012.12.02
Note that it is easy to work around this issue in PySAM/the SDK, since the length of gen can be specified by the user. The workaround in the GUI is to specify a 15-minute weather file in a PV-Battery case, and then set the DC losses to 100%.
