Inputs

Inputs used to run the Holistic Electricity Model: indices and parameters.

Indices

Indices are the dimensions along which the rest of the data are organized, such as the types of generation and storage resources, number of independent power producers, the balancing areas considered, the representative days and hours in the model, etc. Indices are always single-dimensional, with individual values arrayed in the first row of a .csv file (i.e., serialized as a row vector).

In limited cases, mappings between two or three indices must also be provided. Mapping files contain two or three columns labeled with the name of each index being mapped. The presence of an entry is interpreted as membership or a scaling factor of 1.0, whereas absence from the file is interpreted as non-membership or a scaling factor of 0.0.

Common Indices

  • index_y.csv: Simulation years, e.g., 2020, 2021, .... The file is used to generate two indices within HEM. The current simulation window is defined by index_y. index_y_fix represents the full simulation horizon (equal to the years listed in the .csv file) and does not change. Year indices are used in HEM as both strings (for labeling other data) and integers (for iterating and performing calculations).

  • index_s.csv: Years from initial build over which new resources depreciate. For example, this could be a list of integers 1, 2, ..., 15.

  • index_d.csv: Representative days. When using data from ReEDS, each day is represented as d[0-9][0-9][0-9] but there is no constraint in the model regarding how representative days are labeled.

  • index_t.csv: Row vector of representative hours within each representative day. When using data from ReEDS, each hour is represented as h[0-9][0-9][0-9]. Currently the model assumes that all characters except the first in each label can be converted to integer and interpreted as the last hour of the day (of the hours 1 to 24) included in this representative time period. The model also assumes that each representative hour represents the same amount of time.

  • index_h.csv: Customer groups. Example values are Residential, Commercial, Industrial, but this index can also be used to differentiate customer data more finely.

  • index_z.csv: Balancing areas (BAs) / utility zones. HEMData.jl provides data parsing tied to the [ReEDS BAs]((https://www.nrel.gov/analysis/assets/pdfs/reeds-model-regions-map.pdf).

  • index_sector.csv: High-level customer groups used to establish classes for rate-making. Example values are Residential, Commercial, Industrial.

  • indexhsector_mapping.csv: File that maps each customer type in index_h to a high-level customer group (for rate-making) in index_sector. It consists of two columns, index_h and index_sector.

Agent-Specfic Indices

Regulator

  • indexratetou.csv: Index for supported time-of-use rate periods. Example values are Off-Peak, On-Peak, Mid-Peak.

  • touratestructure$(tousuffix).csv: Time-of-use rate period assigned to each representative day and hour combination. The column names are index_d, index_t and index_rate_tou. Here, the input file selected depends on the tou_suffix specified in the config.yaml file under regulator_options.

Utility and IPPGroup

  • indexkexisting.csv: Existing bulk generation technologies, e.g., coaloldscr, gas-ct, nuclear, wind-ofs etc.

  • indexknew.csv: Bulk generation technologies available for new investment, e.g., coaloldscr, gas-ct, nuclear, wind-ofs etc.

  • index_rps.csv: Renewable Potfolio Standard (RPS) qualified technologies, e.g., biopower, wind-ofs etc.

  • indexstorexisting.csv: Existing bulk storage technologies, e.g., battery_1, battery_2 etc.

  • indexstornew.csv: Bulk storage technologies available for new investment, e.g., battery_1, battery_2 etc.

  • index_l.csv: Transmission lines. Each line is represented as \$(origin_zone)||\$(destination_zone), e.g., p100||p101. Both origin_zone and destination_zone are required to be elements of index_z.

  • index_p.csv: Individual independent power producers (IPP). Cosnsists of a single row of IPP names.

Customer

  • index_m.csv: Behind-The-Meter (BTM) technologies, e.g., BTMPV, BTMStorage. Currently these index values are hard-coded into the model and would be difficult to change/remove.

Green Developer

  • index_j.csv: Green technology types. Example values are biopower, wind-ons, wind-ofs. This index is related to the GreenDeveloper agent and direct purchases of clean electricity by customers through power purchase agreements.

Parameters

Parameters contain numeric data defined over zero, one, or more indices. If the parameters is a scalar (no indices), its value is expected to be in the first row and column of the .csv file. If the parameter is defined over a single index, the elements of that index (values or tags that define the contents of the index) are listed in the first row, with the corresponding numeric values listed below, in the second row of the .csv file. If the parameter is defined over multiple (n) indices, all but one of the indices form the first n-1 columns, with the name of the index in the first row and its elements listed below. The last index's elements are listed in the first row starting in the $n^{th}$ column. Numeric values are arrayed under the columns defined by the last index's elements.

Model Parameters

  • Omega.csv: Number of days per representative day. Defined over index_d, and generally expected to sum to 365.0.

  • Gamma.csv: Number of customers of type h (index_h) in zone z (index_z). Column names are index_z, followed by the index_h elements (e.g., Commercial, Residential, Industrial).

  • Year.csv: Numeric values of index_y, defined over index_y, that is, two rows containing the elements in index_y.

  • Time.csv: Last hour (of hours 1, 2, ..., 24) represented by each element of index_t, defined over index_t. For ReEDS representative hours, corresponds to the integer obtained by parsing all but the first character of the element string (i.e., 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24).
