Using the below input data set, it has been observed that various unexpected effects surface in the optimizer result:
simultaneous charging and discharging of batteries (one discharging to charge the other)
batteries are fully charged at the end of the time horizon even if p_a is set to zero
incentive driven strategies fail to work
The problem occurs when the minimum grid import and / or export prices are zero or very small (e.g. 1e-8 €/Wh). All those effects are vanish if the prices are set to at least 1e-6.
Root cause hypothesis: all incentive and penalty mechanisms fail under the described conditions as their target function factors are scaled based on the minimum grid prices.
