When building a model with late-stage analysis that participates in the Energy Market, there are three time steps available: day-ahead, fifteen-minute, and real-time. Within each of these time steps, HOMER features the capability to import energy prices, in $/MWh, in either a single price strip or multiple price strips.
Note- Adding multiple price strips to an Energy Market is disabled for early-stage analysis because only a single year is simulated.
Click Multiple Price Strips, and then select import. You will then have the option to import multiple files and select corresponding years that its applicable for your imports, respectively. Add file, cancel and import again, or select OK to include the data in your model.
When multiple price strips are added, you can open the Price strip drop down menu to toggle between the data sets.
