                  Storm drill

                  The storm is made up; the forecast handling and the charging plan are the real ones, re-run every few simulated hours as the storm comes closer.

                  Simulate a storm

                  Checking the table…
                  Does it hit?
                  Ready

                  Pick a storm and run the drill.

                  Each simulated hour the planner re-reads the forecast and decides which batteries to charge.

                  • Fleet charge, planned ahead
                  • Fleet charge if charging waits for the warning
                  • Power out

                  Batteries

                  • Run a drill to see the batteries charge.
