This is a known issue. It's been fixed in the `dev` branch. I'd recommend running with that branch. If you need to switch branches and already have ochre installed, I...

Update ZIP parameters from https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/9539187. See tables in above paper and original sources. Some sources should also have power factor data I'd like to revisit the ZIP coefficients we have...

Another option is to co-optimize power/voltage with the grid model. Likely required to study voltage violations with Volt-VAR and other advanced inverter functions.

I think there's been a substantial amount of research on this topic already. I think we'd need to meet with some people in the EV group to see what they...

I think we need to reach out to someone. There is data in EVI-pro, but it gets complicated when you have overlapping charging events and only a few chargers. My...

pvlib seems like a much better choice at this point.

Hi @jason-curtis, you're right that the `equipment_schedule_file` will currently overwrite any data that SAM generates. I think that's something we should change in the future. The `sam_weather_file` is actually a...

That's very strange... It looks like maybe you included something in `dwelling_args['schedule']`? Try removing that if you have something in there.

Ok. The `schedule_input_file` should really come from ResStock or BEopt, and has to have data for a whole year (I haven't tested otherwise, but I'm pretty sure that won't work)....

We plan to use PySAM v5.0 instead of switching to pvlib. The new version of PySAM has a few useful features, including direct implementation of PVWatts (which will be the...
