An energy price shock, with solar on the roof.
What a shock does to the cost of a good part, and how much a roof and moving the work that needs most energy win back.
When power gets dear, the run shows hour by hour what it does to your costs and what you can do this month.When power gets dear, the first question is what it does to the cost of what you make, and the second is what you can do about it this month. Both are answered hour by hour, from the same run as every other figure.
The shock
What a dear day really costs
A fixed price holds until renewal; a market price passes every dear hour straight through. So price the same run under each contract you could sign.How much a dear day hurts depends first on the contract. A fixed price holds until it is renewed, and the renewal carries the shock. A price tied to the market passes every dear hour straight through, the same day, in the very hours it is dear. So price the same run under each contract you could sign, and see what a dear day would do before it arrives.
Contracts and the market, on EnergyThe roof
A roof takes its share, but only when the line can use it
On bright days the roof makes more than the line uses; with no battery, much is curtailed. The bill falls a lot, a good part's cost hardly, its CO₂ clearly.Put a roof on the hall and change nothing else. In a winter week it covers part of what the line uses. But on bright days it makes far more at midday than the line draws, and at the break and on a short Friday nobody is there to use it, so with no battery much of what it makes is curtailed. The energy bill falls a lot; the cost of a good part hardly, because energy is a small share of it; the CO₂ in each good part clearly.
The roof as the model declares it, on EnergyThe moved work
Work moved into the cheaper hours
Night power is cheap, but the night crew costs extra. The plan of the day keeps the lowest total cost and holds delivery as a constraint, not a hope.The third lever is when the work that needs most energy runs. Moving it changes when machines and people are needed, so the cheapest hours for energy are not always the cheapest plan: at night the power is cheap, but the crew comes on top. The plan of the day tries the options you allow and keeps the one with the lowest total cost, which moves with the price and with what the roof makes. It holds delivery as a constraint, not a hope.
