Description

The H2I dispatch currently optimizes in dollars. This issue is to discuss how this is implemented in a way that applies to on-grid and off-grid plants.
Current Options:

  1. Require grid components for profit maximization and a load for off-grid plants
  2. Implement the profit maximization that works for on-grid (regular profit maximization) and off-grid (only costs, no revenue, and maximizing this value).

My thoughts are that 1. is too limiting for H2I, but could be a good first-pass. I don't know if 2. would work without a load to go with it, because if there are operating costs and no profit, the best solution is to not operate.

Research direction

Start by locating the H2I dispatch implementation and tracing how profit is currently calculated for on-grid plants. Compare the two proposed approaches for on-grid and off-grid operation, including the role of load and operating costs. Done requires an agreed definition of profit maximization and a decided implementation scope.
