Miscellanous generation

matrix This window is used to handle all input data regarding miscellaneous non dispatchable generation. On picking any area in the primary list, the user gets direct access to all data regarding the area, which amount to 8 ready-made 8760-hour time series (expressed in MW):

  • CHP generation
  • Bio Mass generation
  • Bio gas generation
  • Waste generation
  • Geothermal generation
  • Any other kind of non-dispatchable generation
  • A predefined time series for the operation of Pumped Storage Power (PSP) plants, if they are not explicitly modeled. A positive value is considered as an output (generating) to the grid, a negative value is an input (pumping) to the station.

Note

The sum of the 8760 values must be negative, since the pumping to generating efficiency is lower than 1. The user may also use only the negative values (prescribed pumping), while transferring at the same time the matching generating credit on the regular hydro storage energy credit.

  • ROW balance: the balance with the rest of the world. A negative value is an export to ROW, a positive value is an import from ROW. These values acts as boundary conditions for the model.
