<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Felix,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A TOU schedule as you’ve provided which doesn’t define TOU rate periods in between hours (as Nishant provided) should be much easier to set up in the wizards and wouldn’t require the workaround I proposed. Once you set it up once it’s
my understanding the wizards allow you to save your work locally and recall that rate into other new eQuest projects.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">… I’m not sure how else to address “a little clunky” however.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If customers/energy engineers wish to see a specific update in terms of the eQuest interface or rates provided in the libraries to make leveraging the wizards’ capacity to define rates unnecessary, please be advised that I’m just another
end user (not an eQuest/doe2 developer), and that might be more constructively directed towards JJ Hirsch & his team.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Nishant,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m in a camp where we do all utility rate/tariff analysis and application to the modeled energy outputs in post-processing, to allow flexibility for dealing with these sorts of unique and utility-specific headaches… that’s to say I’m not
*super* familiar or practiced in recent years with the wizard’s capabilities/limitations around defining rate structures, but to suggest: Could you possibly define an additional TOU period (i.e. call it “middle-of-the-road-peak”) that you could then apply
at 8AM and 9PM (2 hours per day), then define that rate numerically as the average between the two period rates? There would be no loss in modeled accuracy with that approach with (very little of) the doe2 simulation executing at a sub-hourly interval.<o:p></o:p></p>
