Hi everyone,

I am playing around with the feature Load Shade Benefit, which looks really promising, but something appears to be wrong with it, I just keep getting zeros if the units are set to milimeters. Here is the output if the result is mm:

and here is the output if the script is set to meters (this is the sample script):

here is the script in meters, the one that returns zeros:

I guess it’s just an issue of units, since the results appear to be the same!

ps. i just noticed, looking at the two printscreens, that one has the units in kWh/mm2, that must be the issue.

Try setting the number of decimal places to 4, 5, 6 instead of the default 2.

thanks for the quick reply. Indeed it prints the same results, so it’s a matter of units:

still, it appears to be a bug right?

Not a bug. Pay attention that the legend, in your case, is kWh/mm2, while the original is kWh/m2.
