Hello,

What is the maximum number of yearly shapes that can be used in the current version of LEAP. So far I have 14 (Large HPPs, Commercial, transport, agriculture, food and beverages, other industry etc...)but last 4 yearly shapes are not working. Does it mean that maximum number of yearly shapes is 10? If this the case is it possible to increase shapes, or how can I solve this issue..

Thanks,

Hi Giorgi,

This is a very interesting observation - thank you for pointing it out! As a further point of clarification, may I ask the number of time slices that you're using in your model? You'll find this at the bottom left corner of the window that appears after selecting General:Time Slices, from LEAP's main menu. We've found that the problem may be tied to the number of time slices.

We've identified the issue that may be causing this problem. A new version of LEAP is due to be released shortly, and we'll be sure to incorporate this fix. In the meantime, I can propose a temporary workaround for you: have a look at LEAP's TimeSliceValue() function, here:

http://www.energycommunity.org/WebHelpPro/Expressions/TimeSliceValue.htm

For those yearly shapes beyond the 10th, that are not being recognized, try manually writing the values for each time slice into you expression like this:

TimeSliceValue(Time Slice 1, 10, Time Slice 2, 20, etc...)

Hope this holds you for a while,

Taylor

Taylor,

there are 12 time slices basically months.

Also I have read somewhere in the discussions that maybe previous or current version of LEAP can use only 10 yearly shapes. (maybe i am wrong)

I think if there will be possibility to use relatively more yearly shapes would be great, because for example we already have 14 (4 already is not working) and we also want use yearly shapes for household sector for different activities which might be additional 8-10.


Thanks.

Hi all,

I just want to follow up on what Taylor posted. I can confirm that there is a bug in the current version of LEAP (2012.056). This will be fixed in LEAP2014. A beta version of this will be available shortly (in a week or so) for testing purposes only. At that time there will be no particular limit on the number of yearly shapes you can define.

Sorry for the inconvenience this is causing.

Best,

Charlie
