Hi,

I intend to use the endogenous capacity expansion function built in the LEAP and now check the claculation procedure.

Found some calculation procedure here: http://www.energycommunity.org/webhelppro/Transformation/Endogenous_Capacityu_Expansion_Calculations.htm

"The Capacity Value term is used to adjust the actual capacity value of intermittent renewable energy processes, which are assumed to have less capacity value than thermal power plants. (thermal power plants typically have a capacity value of 100%)."

My question is: what is the actual capacity value for renewables adopted in the LEAP?

Thanks,
Katty

Hi Katty,

The actual capacity value is whatever you enter in the exogenous capacity, plus any endogenous capacity. It's simply the installed capacity - if less than 100% of that capacity is as reliable as the fossil fuel alternative, than you should enter a value less than 100% in the Capacity Value field.

Take care,

Taylor

You can not save without a valid LEAP license. I've just approved your license application.

Good luck,

Taylor
