Simulation Output - 24 Month Period?

4 posts / 0 new
Last post

Hi All,

Has anyone experienced this before? I am running a simulation and the output reports span 24 months instead of 12. Please see attached SS-G report for an example. In addition, my unmet hours are twice what they should be due to the fact that eQUEST is running the model over a 2-year period. Any idea why this might be happening or suggestions for a fix?

Any insight is appreciated!

Thanks,
Vicki

Vicki,
Did you create a second RUN-PERIOD under Simulation Options? If so, all the monthly reports will show 24 months of data.

As for unmet hours, that?s hard for anyone to diagnose without the model files.

Bill, there is only one run period. On the unmet hours, I am still building the model so I am not concerned with them right now. It?s just the run period I?m confused about.

Hi Vicki,

The run period might be twice , hence double number of output data as per
weather file and twice enhanced unmet load hour it seems to be possible to
me.
I guessed this if the weather file is getting repeated and hence double
number of figures.
Mr. Bill seems correct to me. Just have a go through the model and repeat.

Thanks,
