Predbat blocking iboost #1252

Open MalcolmSpencer opened 2 weeks ago

MalcolmSpencer commented 2 weeks ago

When I turn on 'iboost on solar' predbat is trying to keep the battery soc below the 'iboost_min_soc' by discharging the battery so that power is not diverted to iboost. screens shots of the plan with iboost on solar on and off below.

I appreciate that financially using iboost might not be the best thing to do but environmentally I want to use iboost in the summer rather than using gas.

This might be because of the rates and thresholds low threshold = 14.6p High threshold = 24.2p import = 25.3p export = 15.7p

Expected behavior Predbat should not export power until iboost is full (boost max energy) or high export price

Predbat version predbat addon 1.1.7 predbat 8.1.1

Environment details Core 2024.6.4 Supervisor 2024.06.0 Operating System 12.4 Frontend 20240610.1

If you change input_number.iboost_value_scaling to something higher e.g. 1.0 then you shouldn't get this as much.
