Parametric Tool - Inconsistent Results

Post by bbrannon4 »

I’ve run a couple sets of parameters plus a regular simulation, but I’m getting different results when they should be the same. You can see that they are ballpark, but there is no reason they wouldn’t be identical. In the weather files set of runs I added several new weather files, but also the one that the main Apache simulation is using. For the internal gains, I’m scaling a few, but also left an option for them all to be scaled at 100% for comeparison.

Gas (MWh) Electricity (MWh)
Regular Apache: 1248.2 5690.6
Parametric – Weather Files: 1079.2 5648.2
Parametric – internal gains: 1211.9 5704.3

Any ideas what might be going on?
