Description

  1. Thank you for adding the Battery availability loss output.

    There is some inconsistency now:

    • Total AC availability is reported as a single value in %
    • Total DC availability is reported as a single value in %
    • Total battery availability is not reported.
    • Time series AC availability loss is reported in kW
    • Time series DC availability loss is not reported
    • Time series battery availability loss is reported in %

    This is probably a separate issue to handle the output consistently across all performance models.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the performance-model outputs for AC, DC, and battery availability, then determine the intended units and reporting behavior across models; done means the totals and time-series losses are reported consistently.
