Timeout when using custom load

[SiqiKe]

Hi there,

I am accessing your web tool in Python. I received an "Optimization exceeded timeout: 420 seconds." error when setting the load size to my customized list "load," a list with a len equal to 8760. (I tried rounding down each element to two decimal places to keep it simple, but it doesn't help). I can get a result if I don't use my custom load. Would you give some suggestions for fixing the problem?

The message is as follows:

'messages': {'info': 'When off_grid_flag is true, only PV, ElectricStorage, Generator technologies can be modeled.',
'error': 'Optimization exceeded timeout: 420 seconds. Please visit https://github.com/NREL/REopt-API-Analysis/discussions for support with common API usage issues. You can also email reopt@nrel.gov with your run_uuid (2bfdd4aa-5c2a-4b16-addd-3cf3c4af2d89) for support.'

The following is my post:

post = {
"Settings": {
"off_grid_flag": True
},
"Site": {
"longitude": location.latitude,
"latitude": location.longitude
},
"PV": {
"array_type": 0,
"installed_cost_per_kw": 2200,
"om_cost_per_kw": 44
},
"Generator": {
"installed_cost_per_kw": 500,
"fuel_cost_per_gallon": 4.4
},
"ElectricLoad": {
"loads_kw": load,
#"doe_reference_name" : "LargeOffice",
#"annual_kwh": 684623.0,

}
}

Best,

Hello, are you still experiencing this issue? If so, you could try (in the web tool):

• Increasing the "Solver optimality tolerance (%)"
• Increasing the "Optimization timeout (seconds)" (this is a new input in the web tool)
• Decreasing the "Load operating reserve requirement (%)"
• Decreasing the "Minimum load met (%)"
