JRC-EU-TIMES model Setup and Scenario Run

Contact: Evangelos Panos, evangelos.panos@psi.ch

Minimum requirements to solve the model

Installation

Download all two directories into the same folder at a local computer. The structure the three directories is as follows:

  • Gams_WrkJRCTIMES : contains the model input data
  • Results : contains the model result generation routines and template files

Contents of the model input data directory

The model code and input data are in flat text files with the extension .dmp . The folder also contains additional files like solver options and the scripts to run the POLIZERO scenarios. In addition, the post-model solution files, with the results of each scenario in raw output format, are also located in this folder. All the above are explained in the subsections below

Model input data files

  • BAU.dmp : JRC-EU-TIMES input data and code for the BAU scenario of POLIZERO
  • CLI.dmp : JRC-EU-TIMES input data and code for the CLI scenario of POLIZERO
  • CLI90.dmp : JRC-EU-TIMES input data and code for the CLI90 scenario of POLIZERO

Other files required for solving the model

Besides the data input and model code files, there are also additional files controlling the solution of the model.

  • cplex.opt : CPLEX solver option files
  • BAU.CMD : script to run the BAU scenario of POLIZERO
  • CLI.CMD : script to run the CLI scenario of POLIZERO
  • CLI90.CMD : script to run the CLI90 scenario of POLIZERO

Post-solution files

When the solution of a scenario with the JRC-EU-TIMES finishes, the corresponding GDX file is generated at the subfolder GAMSSAVE. There are three GDX files alreaydy there:

  • BAU.gdx : BAU scenario GDX file
  • CLI.gdx : CLI scenario GDX file
  • CLI90.gdx : CLI90 scenario GDX file

These GDX files are translated into flat text files with extensions .vds, .vde and .vd. These files contain the output of the model in a format suitable for the TIMES licensed user interface VEDA (please see https://iea-etsap.org/index.php/documentation)

Contents of the model results directory

The subfolder Results contain the following files:

  • collect_results_single_scenario.gms : is a routine to process the .vd files of TIMES to a format suitable for EXCEL
  • Fuel_Prices_JRC.gms : provides a proxy calculation of levelised costs of different energy carriers
  • Fuel_Prices_JRC_primary_commodity.gms : auxiliary file for the Fuel_Prices_JRC.gms
  • results_template.xlsb : results template file in EXCEL format for the EU-27 member states, CH, NO and UK
  • bau.xlsb : results from the BAU scenario of POLIZERO in EXCEL
  • cli.xlsb : results from the CLI scenario of POLIZERO in EXCEL
  • cli90.xlsb : results from the CLI90 scenario of POLIZERO in EXCEL

The subfolder also contains the scripts to produce the results from a TIMES run:

  • collect_all_scenarios.bat : batch main script to generate the EXCEL files with the results from BAU, CLI and CLI90
  • collect_single.bat : auxiliary file to the main file of the script generating the results

Example of the workflow with the JRC-EU-TIMES

  1. execute the scripts BAU.CMD, CLI.CMD and CLI90.CMD to run the BAU, CLI and CLI90 POLIEZRO scenarios
  2. execute the script collect_all_scenarios.bat to create the results EXCEL file
