SmallNewEngland is set of a simplified versions of the more detailed example system RealSystemExample. It is condensed for easy comprehension and quick testing of different components of the GenX. SmallNewEngland/ThreeZones, a one-year example with hourly resolution, contains zones representing Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Maine. The ten represented resources include only natural gas, solar PV, wind, and lithium-ion battery storage.
To run the model, first navigate to the example directory at GenX/Example_Systems/SmallNewEngland/ThreeZones
:
cd("Example_Systems/SmallNewEngland/ThreeZones")
Next, ensure that your settings in GenX_settings.yml
are correct. The default settings use the solver Gurobi (Solver: Gurobi
), time domain reduced input data (TimeDomainReduction: 1
). Other optional policies include minimum capacity requirements, a capacity reserve margin, and more. A rate-based carbon cap of 50 gCO2 per kWh is specified in the CO2_cap.csv
input file.
Once the settings are confirmed, run the model with the Run.jl
script in the example directory:
include("Run.jl")
Once the model has completed, results will write to the Results
directory.
