Dear Energy modellers,

I am running my model in the context of a developing country with scheduled power outages. That means between 2 to 8 hours a day (depending on the month) there is no utility electricity available. In it's turn the building has a diesel backup system to fulfill the energy demand.

As I am only modeling a part of the building I do not want to include the diesel backup system. However, I would like to consider the increased electricity price during power outage in my llife cycle cost analysis. I have created the Time of the Day tariff for the utility costs. But I am not sure how to include in this tariff the increased unit price when diesel gensets are running.

Do you have any advice how to go about it? Thanks a lot.

Warm regards, Susanne

Do you have any advice how to go about it?it? My question has more a conceptional character. If I do not model the diesel generatore backup system I cannot really put a different unitprice. I was thinking of using the shoulderEnergy to represent the hours when diesel backup system is running. But not sure if this will be working or there is a more clever appraoch.

Thansk a lot.
