module_energy_LA116.geo

Description

Generate geothermal (hydrothermal and engineered geothermal systems (EGS)) supply curves by GCAM region Supply curves developed for the 14 GCAM 3.0 regions are downscaled to the country level on the basis of land area, and aggregated to the current GCAM regions. The data source for the supply curves is Hannam et al. 2009: http://www.pnl.gov/main/publications/external/technical_reports/PNNL-19231.pdf

Usage

module_energy_LA116.geo(command, ...)

Arguments

command

API command to execute

...

other optional parameters, depending on command

Details

This code chunk assigns geothermal electric resources to GCAM regions. Because the underlying source data were developed for the 14 regions of GCAM 3.0 and prior, they are first downscaled to the nation level on the basis of land area, and aggregated to the current GCAM regions.

Value

Depends on command: either a vector of required inputs, a vector of output names, or (if command is "MAKE") all the generated outputs: L116.RsrcCurves_EJ_R_geo, L116.RsrcCurves_EJ_R_EGS. The corresponding file in the original data system was LA116.geo.R (energy level1).
