Daily Cost Equivalents

Different scenarios may have different analysis durations, so a direct comparison of costs would not be equitable. To normalize all analyses to a common reference, costs are also converted as daily equivalents.

For energy costs and storage costs, the total computed cost is adjusted according to the ratio of a single day to the analysis duration. For peak usage cost, a daily cost is computed by dividing the peak usage cost by the number of days in a billing cycle.
