Combine PSR Imports and PSR Exports #111

Open jmertic opened 5 months ago

jmertic commented 5 months ago

From @Henry-WattTime

Should we combine imports and exports for simplicity?

@k-stanford24

+1 for combining.

@halliecramer1

I think this is what you're saying, but could treat this as net-imports and then allow it to be positive or negative (to reflect a case of net-exports)

@Pierre-VF

Depending on granularity, we might want to keep both import AND export, to be able to provide more information than just the net import.

For example, if a PSR imports 2 MWh in the first quarter of an hour and exports 8 in the remainder of the hour, we might still want to know that import happened and thereby need more details than just a -6 MWh net import. Given the discrepancy between grid and local production carbon intensity, that may have an impact that we simply don't want to neglect.

@AndBerna

Seems fine to keep both ( Kristina and André)

@Henry-WattTime

If the situation Pierre describes happens, the grid operator should report the data at the finer granularity, not the hourly level.
