 Optimisation homework

1. Task
According to the homework guidance, my task is:

Assume that the house is occupied by a night hawk and shift most of the consumption to the night

time when electricity is the cheapest.

3. Analysis
When most of the consumption has been shift to the midnight,

For gird: the power supply from the grid in the daytime has been reduced and the power
supply in the night has been increased since the most power consumption happened in the
night.
For battery: the charging time of battery in the night has been reduced and the discharging
time in the daytime has been reduced.
The PV output and retail tariff do not change.
