[esp-r] Re: Casual gains

A question about step-changes in casual gains....

The solver in ESP-r works by solving for the current timestep and
future timestep and then saving the average state.  The result of this
is that casual gains for the current timestep and the future state are
averaged when the performance data is written out.

To make the transition quicker run the simulation at a short timestep
(say 5 minutes rather than one hour).

Dear everyone,

Hello.
I am making a building model.
I am trying to input casual gains.
Now I input the schedule of gains.
The schedule I input was as below;
0:00-9:00  0W
9:00-17:00  1300W
17:00-24:00  0W

I simulated my model and I checked its result.
The value of gains was as below;
8:30 0W
9:30 650W
10:30 1300W
-----
16:30 1300W
17:30 650W
18:30 0W

I think it takes 2 hours to maximize gains.
I want gains to change every hour like this;
8:30 0W
9:30 1300W
10:30 1300W
-----
16:30 1300W
17:30 1300W
18:30 0W

I attach the excel file about the gains.
How should I input the schedule ?
We would really appreciate your advice.

Best regards,

Wakana Matsumoto
