Evaluate Impact of Hourly Analysis • Seasonality: • 48-Seg captures seasonality of prices • Hourly: • 48-Seg captures some hourly effects of prices, obscures others • 48-Seg may not capture peak kW impacts • Question: How big a difference?
Impact • Impact of hourly analysis • Depends on shape of savings • Biggest impact if hourly savings shape is different than hourly price shape • Depends on hourly savings shapes within each hourly time bin (or time-segment) • Tested against peakiest hourly savings shape • Which savings shape?
Which Savings Shape is Peaky • Res AC?, Water heat?, Ag Irrigation?, Res COOK
