remove_neu: Remove Non-energy use from an energy conversion chain

Remove Non-energy use from an energy conversion chain

Description

Frequently, Non-energy use should be removed from an energy conversion chain, in final demand, at the useful stage, at the final stage, and at the primary stage. This function removes Non-energy use via an "upstream swim" with new_Y().

Usage

remove_neu(
  .sutmats,
  neu_product_pattern = RCLabels::make_or_pattern(c("NEU", nonenergy_products)),
  neu_industry_pattern = RCLabels::make_or_pattern("Non-energy use", pattern_type =
    "leading"),
  method = "solve",
  R = Recca::psut_cols$R,
  U = Recca::psut_cols$U,
  U_feed = Recca::psut_cols$U_feed,
  U_eiou = Recca::psut_cols$U_eiou,
  r_eiou = Recca::psut_cols$r_eiou,
  V = Recca::psut_cols$V,
  Y = Recca::psut_cols$Y,
  S_units = Recca::psut_cols$S_units,
  prime_suffix = "_prime",
  R_prime = paste0(Recca::psut_cols$R, prime_suffix),
  U_prime = paste0(Recca::psut_cols$U, prime_suffix),
  U_feed_prime = paste0(Recca::psut_cols$U_feed, prime_suffix),
  U_eiou_prime = paste0(Recca::psut_cols$U_eiou, prime_suffix),
  r_eiou_prime = paste0(Recca::psut_cols$r_eiou, prime_suffix),
  V_prime = paste0(Recca::psut_cols$V, prime_suffix),
  Y_prime = paste0(Recca::psut_cols$Y, prime_suffix),
  S_units_prime = paste0(Recca::psut_cols$S_units, prime_suffix)
)

Arguments

.sutmats	A data frame or named list of PSUT matrices.
neu_product_pattern	A string regex pattern that identifies Non-energy use rows in the final demand (Y) matrix. Default is RCLabels::make_or_pattern(c("NEU", nonenergy_products)), meaning that the "NEU" product and several other non-energy uses will be removed as product rows.
neu_industry_pattern	A string regex pattern that identifies Non-energy use columns in the final demand (Y) matrix. Default is RCLabels::make_or_pattern("Non-energy use", pattern_type = "leading"), which specifies that the string "Non-energy use" is the leading part of a column name in the Y matrix. This approach allows all "Non-energy use in X" columns to be removed.
method	The method by which upstream swim will be conducted. Default is "solve" for the usual solve() in R. This argument is passed to matsbyname::invert_byname().
R, U, U_feed, U_eiou, r_eiou, V, Y, S_units	String names for matrix columns or list items in .psut_mats. Alternatively, these arguments can be single matrices. Default values are strings from Recca::psut_cols.
prime_suffix	The suffix for names of modified matrices. Default is "_prime".
R_prime, U_prime, U_feed_prime, U_eiou_prime, r_eiou_prime, V_prime, Y_prime, S_units_prime	Output names. Defaults are formed by appending "_prime" to default names.

Details

Although this function is remove_neu(), it can be used to remove any row or column from the final demand matrix and calculate the remaining ECC by overriding the default value for the neu_industry_pattern or neu_product_pattern arguments.

Note that if a data frame or a list is passed in .sutmats, the original matrices will remain as columns, and new columns will be added with ⁠*_prime⁠ matrices. Callers may wish to delete the original matrices in the returned data frame.

Value

A version of the energy conversion chain with Non-energy use industries and products removed.

Examples

UKEnergy2000mats |>
  tidyr::spread(key = matrix.name, value = matrix) |>
  dplyr::filter(Last.stage != "Services") |>
  # This data frame does not contain "Non-energy use",
  # so remove "Residential" instead.
  Recca::remove_neu(neu_product_pattern = "^NG|^MD",
                    neu_industry_pattern = "^Residential")
