2023 Views Hi Taylor,
I try to add new fuel type under statistical difference . I can add fuel type from fuel icon in the upper bar. However, I can not see the new fuel type under statistical difference ( primary or secondary branch). For example, I want to add lignite, I can change/ add specific properties by using fuel icon, but I cannot add/subtract from a primary or secondary branch in statistical difference.
Thanks,
Hasret

2016 Views Hi Hasret,
Those fuels that appear in the Statistical Differences branches (as well as the Stock Change branches and the resources branches) are actually added automatically by LEAP whenever a fuel is added as an input or output anywhere in the model. This means that you can't manually add or subtract fuels to/from these branches.
The rationale is that unless (for example) lignite is used in your energy system somewhere, LEAP does not bother tracking its year-to-year statistical differences.
Hope this helps,
Taylor

2001 Views Hi Taylor,
It means that if I add a fuel for example in residential or industrial branch, automatically, fuel is also added in statistical differences and stock changes branch.
My another question is that the metholodogy of LEAP is defined simply in the user guide . Is there any document including all functions formulas and calculation methods in LEAP?( I mean all formulas and calculations are listed in one document)
Because I have to explain general methodology and specific calculations in my jury?
Thanks again,
Hasret

1998 Views Hi there,
For specific questions about the methodologies behind LEAP functions, you're best bet would be to look up that function in the online help system (http://www.energycommunity.org/WebHelpPro/LEAP.htm) for the specific function in question.
If these explanations aren't quite satisfactory, you can ask questions on the forums here. Was there a particular function that you were having difficulty understanding?
Best,
Taylor
