Description
Installation and running the model
It is necessary to install Calliope to run the model. Instructions for installation and running the model are available at:https://calliope.readthedocs.io/.
Temporal resolution
The temporal resolution of the model is 8 hours by default. You can set the model with another resolution in the "overrides" file:
time_resampling:
model.time: {function: resample, function_options: {'resolution': '8H'}}
Please be aware that running the model might be computationally expensive. The model contains data from one year. If you wish to test the model, you can indicate a shorter time range in the "overrides" file > weather years. For example, you can select a subset of ten days of data:
year_2010:
model.subset_time: ['2010-01-01', '2010-01-10']
Weather year
Weather years include data from 2000 to 2019.
Scenarios
The scenario names are structured as follows: route + policy + year:
Routes:
1) Baseline
2) Limited electrification (elec. stage 1)
3) Intensive electrification (elec. stage 2)
4) Net zero
Policy:
1) Default (status quo)
2) Land constraints (exclusion of relevant ecological lands) (LC)
3) 100% renewable (RE) - phase-out fossil fuels
4) Land constraints (LC) + 100% RE
Example:
scenario_netzero_banned_2019 (route=netzero, policy= phase-out fossil fuels)
