--hours HOURS : Create a bar graph of electricity usage per hour for the given number of hours.

Two different modifiers are possible: --balance

--balances

Balancing

Balancing is a mathematical excercise that is meant to study the effect of energy storage.

--balances shows what would happen if all the energy that is exported in the unbalanced case could be used optimally. So, the (red) imported energy is first canceled out by any (blue) exported energy before creating the graph; effectively maximising the (green) own usage part.

--balance does the same as the --balances option, however now the T1 and T2 counters are strictly kept separate. So, energy exported during the peak hours is only canceled out against the energy imported during those same peak hours.
