HHD import query, load profile from measured values

[Jordn]

When importing a load profile from measured values, with a time interval of 30 mins, at which time should the first data be imported? For example: should the first data value be relevant to 00:00 or 00:30 ?

 

Thank you in advance!

Yours,

Hi Jordn.

in PV*SOL, when you simulate in one-hour resolution, the timestamp of 01:00 refers to the hour from 00:01 to 01:00 (right aligned). How you should import your load profile depends on what the timestamps in your loadprofile refer to. You should make sure that with your first two values the time range from 00:01 to 01:00 is covered. But after all, I would estimate that in the end it won't make such a big difference in the results. You can always try it out though. Just import it in different ways and see how it affects the results.

Kind regards,

Martin

Thank you for your reply!! I'll try it out - I'll export the results to a spreadsheet, and see what happens between using 00:00 or 00:30 as the first data in the imported dataset. Thanks again!!
