currently thinking that we are better off focusing first on SWITCH and other calculations and foregoing the intermediate RESOLVE version. While I had first been thinking that we should initially focus on RESOLVE, so thought that having as many of the improvements
as could be available should be a priority, I’m currently thinking that it would be more work for you and more of a distraction than of significant value for us until the flexible timeframe revisions are made. <o:p class=""></o:p></span></p>

find it very useful to talk with you about things like: how did you derive the data for the shapes.tab file for CAISO_Solar_for_CAISO resource and how did you verify that it accurately represents the generation for solar resources in the CAISO zone? Or, I
assume that your use of the DC output from PV Watts instead of the AC output was an oversight, or did you have a reason for making that selection? <o:p class=""></o:p></span></p>

I’d be pleased to talk about why this is - see below. Studying week-long or even month-long weather data could make an interesting study, but I now believe will be a distraction from where we need to head in the end. We could still return to that approach,
but I’d prefer to focus on full-year data sets. I would far prefer to define the baseline with the modified software (for a full year of data), but I’m thinking that it won’t be possible to move to full-year data analysis in the near term.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></p>

I’m focused on the “multiple-hour” timepoints rather than “fractions of hours” timepoints. My quick assessment of this is that it will require introducing one more variable throughout to correctly derive the energy from the power to correctly calculate the
variable costs, GHG emissions, etc. I’m guessing that this will require changing several hundred lines of code and is a task that I’d prefer not to duplicate effort on. Generating the “shapes.tab”, “reserve_timepoint_requirements.tab”, “zone_timpoint_params.tab”,
and other “timepoints" input files for variable timepoint lengths will also require some code development, but I view those as a necessary part of the research and something we will do anyway (would our code for that be helpful to you?). I wonder if there’s
