Energy Production - Electricity and Fuel Production

Electricity and Fuel Production is modeled using Julia NemoMod (access the Julia GitHub repository here), an energy framework developed by the Stockholm Environmental Institute. Two key subsectors are exclusive to electricity and fuel production (* indicates non-emission subsector):

  • Energy Technology (ENTC–NOTE this is marked as Electricity and Fuel Production on the SISEPUEDE DAG)

  • Energy Storage (ENST)*

The SISEPUEDE model is highly aggregated at the country level, that can be built and improved upon by countries with deeper systemic knowledge at a later date. In general, SISEPUEDE acts as a wrapper for Julia NEMO, formatting input data and integrating uncertainty into an integrated modeling framework for NemoMod. Energy Technology is the subsector in which emissions accrue and contains key attributes surrounding energy generation technologies, including capacity factors, costs, lifetimes, input and output fuels, and more. Energy Storage includes key properties of energy storage. All storage categories are also technology categories (this is necessary to model storage).

_images/nemomod_diagram_v2.png

NemoMod requires several dimensions of data; these data include:

  • EMISSIONS

  • FUEL

  • MODE

  • STORAGE

  • TECHNOLOGY

  • TIMESLICE

  • TSGROUP1

  • TSGROUP2

  • YEARS

These dimensions are associated with attribute tables in SISEPUEDE scripts and the ModelAttributes class, and some–such as FUEL (ENFU), STORAGE (ENST), and TECHNOLOGY (ENTC)–are subsectors in SISEPUEDE.

Note

Most of the variables that are required by category are explained in further detail in the NemoMod Parameter Documentation. For example, if it is unclear what the Capacity Factor is (see Categories - TECHNOLOGY below), the NemoMod parameter documentation can provide additional information.

NemoMod Tables and Default Values

NemoMod includes a range of tables used to integrate components of an energy system. The following table includes SISEPUEDE default parameter values for each table as well as information about how each table is populated in SISEPUEDE.

Input

Carbon Capture Achievement Fraction

This variable is used to interpolate between variable values for technologies with and without CCS to represent achievement levels at some fraction between no CCS and the level specified in the CCS. For example, if the CCS technology represents an effectiveness of 90%, then the CCS Acheivement Fraction can be specifed at 0.5 to represent a system with average CCS effectiveness of 0.45. This fraction is entered as an association with the CCS associated technology (e.g., for the pair pp_coal and pp_coal_ccs, it is entered in association with the pp_coal_ccs variable).

NOTE: this variable does not modify the prevalence (uptake) of CCS. It only modifies traits of CCS technologies, including the following variables:
  • EmissionsActivityRatios (CCS reduces emissions per unit of input energy

  • OutputActivityRatios (CCS reduces output per unit of energy due to on-site energy use increase)

  • NemoMod Capital Cost (CCS generally increases costs)

  • NemoMod Fixed Cost (CCS generally increases costs)

Maximum Production Increase Fraction to Satisfy MinShareProduction Electricity

Maximum increase in future electricity production–estimated as the fraction of estimated production total at **first last period \(= -999\). Set to 0 to stop new technologies from being constructed to increase NemoMod MinShareProduction constraints.

CAUTION: Maximum Production Increase Fraction to Satisfy MinShareProduction can conflict with other constraints in the model, including TotalAnnualMinCapacityInvestment and TotalAnnualMaxCapacity; take care to avoid specifying conflicting constratints. SISEPUEDE works to prioritize constraints in the presence of conflicts, but infeasibilities may still occur.

CAUTION: Avoid implementing this constraint for all technologies if NemoMod MinShareProduction is used to control the implementation of a baseline.

NOTE: This variable will not prevent the construction of new technologies to maintain capacity at the last time period where == 0 (where this is no limit imposed).

NOTE: This constraint modifies the NemoMod MinShareProduction constraints in response to changing energy demands; it relies on estimates of energy demands from all non-ENTC sectors and may show slight errors relative to true energy demand.

According to NemoMod , the MinShareProduction variable defines, “[f]or the specified region, fuel, and year, minimum fraction of production (excluding production from storage) that must be delivered by the indicated technology.”

Spcified as fraction of production, i.e., \(x \in [0, 1]\)

Can be used with electricity generation technologies (pp_) or select fuel production technologies (fp_). Note that each of these technologies produces exactly one fuel.

CAUTION: MinShareProduction can interact with other constraints, such as REMinProductionTarget (see ENFU), TotalAnnualMaxCapacity, TotalAnnualMaxCapacityInvestment; take care to avoid specifying conflicting constratints.
