SolarPlus supports energy simulation down to 10 minute resolution in order to simulate performance of battery storage systems, consumption power flows, grid interaction and, for off-grid systems, generator runtime.
Battery system performance is modelled according to the specifications of the manufacturing and factoring roundtrip efficiency, configuration set-point limits, depth of discharge limits, and accounting for battery chemistry characteristics.
Grid interactivity levels are controlled with export limits, set-points for any battery grid charge or battery export and all energy flows accounted according to the electricity tariff structure set for the site including time-of-use, tiered tariffs and demand charge rate.
