Merging time steps with similar behaviour¶
Hours with similar discharge or production can be merged together into blocks in order to save computation time. This is done by the command:
Command: set merge /<option>| Comment | |
|---|---|
| on | Merge similar hours into blocks |
| off | Don’t merge similar hours, discard all previously merged blocks |
| stop | Keep previously merged blocks and stop further merging |
If command not set: Don’t merge similar hours.
The tolerance for merging hours can be set by a timeseries table, see the block merge functionality documentation.
