Cloud Events Analysis: Focused Battery System Behavior

This simulation focuses on a specific cloud event (17:00-17:45) to demonstrate
the critical moment when solar production drops and how different threshold
configurations respond. Shows why negative import thresholds are essential
during cloud transients with battery systems.
