Hello,

I have some results now. I simulated the same building with different fraction (100%, 40-59% and 0-19%). I got these figures for the first 5 days.

It seems like it reduces the charging energy by the amount of energy with respect of the mean of the fraction. As the amount of energy for discharging and charging are close (in order to get the same level of battery charge for example for an EV), then it reduces both charging and discharging energy with the amount of energy with respect of the fraction. Here are some results for the entire year :

1 year - 100% :

E_ch = 24815833261.02579 J E_dis = 24839745141.085274 J

1 year - 40-59% :

E_ch = 12419536936.354237 J (ratio 40-59% / 100% ~ 0.5) E_dis = 12424837530.810143 J (ratio 40-59% / 100% ~ 0.5)

1 year - 0-19% :

E_ch = 2483722503.147503 J (ratio 40-59% / 100% ~ 0.1) E_dis = 2491556018.756907 J (ratio 40-59% / 100% ~ 0.1)

Please feel free to correct me if I am wrong. Thank you !
