In JGCRI/gcamdata: Build the GCAM Input Datasets

module_gcamusa_L2241.coal_retire_USA

Description

Generates GCAM-USA model input for removing coal capacity retired between 2011 and 2015, 2016 and 2020, and vintaging capacity which continues to operate beyond 2020.

Usage

module_gcamusa_L2241.coal_retire_USA(command, ...)

Arguments

command	API command to execute
...	other optional parameters, depending on command

Details

This chunk creates add-on files to take the fraction of reduction in coal electricity generation between 2010 and 2015 for each state and forces that generation to retire in 2015. It also tempers retirement assumptions for the remaining coal fleet to allow most 2015 generation to continue through mid-century.

Value

Depends on command: either a vector of required inputs, a vector of output names, or (if command is "MAKE") all the generated outputs: L2241.StubTechProd_elec_coalret_USA, L2241.StubTechEff_elec_coalret_USA, L2241.StubTechSCurve_elec_coalret_USA, L2241.StubTechMarket_elec_coalret_USA, L2241.GlobalTechShrwt_elec_coalret_USA, L2241.GlobalTechCapFac_elec_coalret_USA, L2241.GlobalTechCapital_elec_coalret_USA, L2241.GlobalTechOMfixed_elec_coalret_USA, L2241.GlobalTechOMvar_elec_coalret_USA, L2241.GlobalTechEff_elec_coalret_USA, L2241.GlobalTechProfitShutdown_elec_coalret_USA, L2241.StubTechProd_coal_vintage_USA, L2241.StubTechEff_coal_vintage_USA, L2241.StubTechSCurve_coal_vintage_USA, L2241.StubTechProfitShutdown_coal_vintage_USA, L2241.StubTechMarket_coal_vintage_USA, L2241.GlobalTechShrwt_coal_vintage_USA, L2241.GlobalTechEff_coal_vintage_USA, L2241.GlobalTechCapFac_coal_vintage_USA, L2241.GlobalTechCapital_coal_vintage_USA, L2241.GlobalTechOMfixed_coal_vintage_USA, L2241.GlobalTechOMvar_coal_vintage_USA. The corresponding file in the original data system was L2241.coal_slow_fast_retire_USA.R (gcam-usa level2).
