From 2555b66ba9854cb70f5d145491aba62243bc7023 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: martavp Date: Thu, 14 Jan 2021 13:49:17 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] allowing a factor to alter the cost or p_nom_max via the config file This substitutes the previous way of doing it. Now, to multiply the reference p_nom_max by 3, one should include in the config file 'solar+p3' (instead of the previous solarx3) --- config.default.yaml | 5 +++-- doc/release_notes.rst | 1 + 2 files changed, 4 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/config.default.yaml b/config.default.yaml index 0a2f6268..fbf57c99 100644 --- a/config.default.yaml +++ b/config.default.yaml @@ -15,14 +15,15 @@ scenario: lv: [1.0,1.5] # allowed transmission line volume expansion, can be any float >= 1.0 (today) or "opt" clusters: [45,50] # number of nodes in Europe, any integer between 37 (1 node per country-zone) and several hundred opts: [''] # only relevant for PyPSA-Eur - sector_opts: [Co2L0-3H-T-H-B-I-solar3-dist1] # this is where the main scenario settings are + sector_opts: [Co2L0-3H-T-H-B-I-solar+p3-dist1] # this is where the main scenario settings are # to really understand the options here, look in scripts/prepare_sector_network.py # Co2Lx specifies the CO2 target in x% of the 1990 values; default will give default (5%); # Co2L0p25 will give 25% CO2 emissions; Co2Lm0p05 will give 5% negative emissions # xH is the temporal resolution; 3H is 3-hourly, i.e. one snapshot every 3 hours # single letters are sectors: T for land transport, H for building heating, # B for biomass supply, I for industry, shipping and aviation - # solarx or onwindx changes the available installable potential by factor x + # solar+c0.5 reduces the capital cost of solar to 50\% of reference value + # solar+p3 multiplies the available installable potential by factor 3 # dist{n} includes distribution grids with investment cost of n times cost in data/costs.csv # for myopic/perfect foresight cb states the carbon budget in GtCO2 (cumulative # emissions throughout the transition path in the timeframe determined by the diff --git a/doc/release_notes.rst b/doc/release_notes.rst index 66594614..8076d778 100644 --- a/doc/release_notes.rst +++ b/doc/release_notes.rst @@ -5,6 +5,7 @@ Release Notes Future release =================== *For the myopic option, a carbon budget and a type of decay (exponential or beta) can be selected in the config file to distribute the budget across the planning_horizons. +*Added an option to alter the capital cost or maximum capacity of carriers by a factor via ``carrier+factor`` in the ``{opts}`` wildcard. This can be useful for exploring uncertain cost parameters. Example: ``solar+c0.5`` reduces the capital cost of solar to 50\% of original values. Similarly ``solar+p3`` multiplies the p_nom_max by 3.
