module_energy_L223.electricity

Description

Prepares assumptions and calibrated inputs and outputs for the electricity sector.

Usage

module_energy_L223.electricity(command, ...)

Arguments

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

Details

Includes all information for the global technology database, including capital and O&M costs, efficiencies, retirement rates, shareweights and interpolation rules. Often uses interpolation functions to apply assumptions to all model periods. Solar and wind capacity factor assumptions are scaled using data on irradiance and available wind resource. It also determines future fixed outputs of hydropower. This also prepares alternate low- and high-tech capital costs, which are then saved to their own xmls and can be used to overwrite default capital costs.

Value

Depends on command: either a vector of required inputs, a vector of output names, or (if command is "MAKE") all the generated outputs: L223.Supplysector_elec, L223.ElecReserve, L223.SubsectorLogit_elec, L223.SubsectorShrwt_elec, L223.SubsectorShrwtFllt_elec, L223.SubsectorShrwt_coal, L223.SubsectorShrwt_nuc, L223.SubsectorShrwt_renew, L223.SubsectorInterp_elec, L223.SubsectorInterpTo_elec, L223.StubTech_elec, L223.GlobalIntTechEff_elec, L223.GlobalTechEff_elec, L223.GlobalTechCapFac_elec, L223.GlobalIntTechCapFac_elec, L223.GlobalTechCapital_elec, L223.GlobalIntTechCapital_elec, L223.GlobalTechOMfixed_elec, L223.GlobalIntTechOMfixed_elec, L223.GlobalTechOMvar_elec, L223.GlobalIntTechOMvar_elec, L223.GlobalTechShrwt_elec, L223.GlobalTechInterp_elec, L223.GlobalIntTechShrwt_elec, L223.PrimaryRenewKeyword_elec, L223.PrimaryRenewKeywordInt_elec, L223.AvgFossilEffKeyword_elec, L223.GlobalTechCapture_elec, L223.GlobalIntTechBackup_elec, L223.StubTechCapFactor_elec, L223.StubTechCost_offshore_wind, L223.GlobalTechShutdown_elec, L223.GlobalIntTechShutdown_elec, L223.GlobalTechSCurve_elec, L223.GlobalIntTechSCurve_elec, L223.GlobalTechLifetime_elec, L223.GlobalIntTechLifetime_elec, L223.GlobalTechProfitShutdown_elec, L223.GlobalIntTechProfitShutdown_elec, L223.StubTechCalInput_elec, L223.StubTechFixOut_elec, L223.StubTechFixOut_hydro, L223.StubTechProd_elec, L223.StubTechEff_elec, L223.StubTechSecOut_desal, L223.GlobalTechCapital_sol_adv, L223.GlobalIntTechCapital_sol_adv, L223.GlobalTechCapital_wind_adv, L223.GlobalIntTechCapital_wind_adv, L223.GlobalTechCapital_geo_adv, L223.GlobalTechCapital_nuc_adv, L223.GlobalTechCapital_sol_low, L223.GlobalIntTechCapital_sol_low, L223.GlobalTechCapital_wind_low, L223.GlobalIntTechCapital_wind_low, L223.GlobalTechCapital_geo_low, L223.GlobalTechCapital_nuc_low, L223.GlobalTechCapital_bio_low.
