Thank you @shorowit, for your reply. I tried the TrackFacilityElectricDemandStoreExcessOnSite but I noticed this is not the schedule that satisfies my objectives, since it does not work well with the schedules for charging/discharging. For example, during a specific time period (when electricity prices are low or demand is low), I want all the renewable generation to be stored in the storage.
I noticed when you set Design Maximum Continuous Input Power {W}, Ancillary Power Consumed In Standby {W}, and Radiative Fraction to zero for ElectricLoadCenter:Storage:Converter, the connection for getting electricity from the grid to be stored in the batteries will be zero and blocked.
With the below setup, my desired operation of interaction between battery, PV, and schedules is working:
ElectricLoadCenter:Storage:Converter, Converter 1, !- Name ALWAYS_ON, !- Availability Schedule Name (Use your existing schedule) SimpleFixed, !- Power Conversion Efficiency Method 0.95, !- Simple Fixed Efficiency 0.0, !- Design Maximum Continuous Input Power {W} , !- Efficiency Function of Power Curve Name 0.0, !- Ancillary Power Consumed In Standby {W} , !- Zone Name 0.0; !- Radiative Fraction
Thank you very much for your time, support, and assistance.
