(6.6)
Figure 6.6 shows the load match and grid interaction indices, for a near-Net
ZEB in Portugal (Voss et al. , 2010). The different evaluation periods have
respectively 12, 365, and 8760 data points, which correspond to monthly,
daily,andhourlyvalues.Itisclearfromthefigurethatthisbuildingmatches
nearly all its monthly load in August ( f load,month = 100%), but the daily
match is not as good. As expected, as resolution increases (i.e., shorter time
steps), more “gaps” are observable between generation and load.
