5. Using OSeMOSYS-CR¶
OSeMOSYS-CR’s repository1, contains the following folders:
0_Model Structure: contains two files that describes the structure of the model.
1_Scenarios_Inputs: contains three folders representing each one of the climatic scenarios (i.e. BAU, SR20, and SR15). Each folder holds 30 individual comma-separated (csv) files with the parameters of the model.
2_Scenarios_Outputs: stores the outputs generated after running the model.
In order to run the model, the following files are needed:
1_csv_to_txt.py: converts the csv files in 1_Scenarios_Inputs into a text (txt) file of the parameters of the model.
2_run_model_mathprog.py: runs the model and generates two wide format file with the results of the model: i) a file containing the original names of the fuels, technologies and emissions, and ii) a file with coded names for an easier understanding.
Running the model, generates the following files, all of them are store in 2_Scenarios_Outputs:
Osemosyscr_data.txt: is the output file of 1_csv_to_txt.py.
Osemosyscr_data_Output.txt: is one of the output files of 2_run_model_mathprog.py. Contains the results of the scenario.
Osemosys_data_Output.csv: is one of the output files of 2_run_model_mathprog.py. Contains the results of the scenario in a wide format csv file.
Osemosys_data_Output_CODED: is one of the output files of 2_run_model_mathprog.py. Contains the results of the scenario in a wide format csv file with coded names for the fuels, technologies and emissions of the model.
Figure 5.1 shows the general framework of how the python modules of OSeMOSYS-CR work. The following are important considerations for using these modules:
In order to run the model, the GLPK2, solver needs to be installed.
Before running the model, 2_Scenarios_Outputs should be empty.
1_csv_to_txt.py and 2_run_model_mathprog.py must be respectively run. In both codes the scenario of interest needs to be specified in the first lines.
