|
|
==============================================
|
|
1. Minimum requirements to solve the model
|
|
==============================================
|
|
* A valid GAMS/CPLEX License
|
|
* 64 GB RAM
|
|
* CPU threads >10
|
|
* HDD space 10 GB
|
|
* Basic Knowledge of the TIMES modelling Framework (see also https://iea-etsap.org/index.php/documentation)
|
|
|
|
==============================================
|
|
2. 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
|
|
|
|
==============================================
|
|
3. Contents of the model source code directory
|
|
==============================================
|
|
Please consult the TIMES documentation, available online: https://iea-etsap.org/index.php/documentation
|
|
|
|
|
|
==============================================
|
|
4. 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
|
|
|
|
|
|
4.1 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
|
|
|
|
|
|
4.2 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
|
|
|
|
|
|
4.4 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)
|
|
|
|
|
|
==============================================
|
|
5. 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
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
==============================================
|
|
6. Example of the workflow with the JRC-EU-TIMES
|
|
==============================================
|
|
|
|
a. execute the scripts BAU.CMD, CLI.CMD and CLI90.CMD to run the BAU, CLI and CLI90 POLIEZRO scenarios
|
|
b. execute the script collect_all_scenarios.bat to create the results EXCEL file
