Hello,

i am currently modelling an energy system where electricity is generated from coal(both lignite and bitumous), natural gas, oil and renewables sources. In the transmission and distribution module natural gas and oil appeared automatically, so that i can enter losses for them. Coal did not appear. Is coal supposed to be entered manually or did i make a mistake somewhere?
Thanks in advance
Ariane

Hi Ariane,

Can you describe what you mean by "gas and oil appeared automatically"? As another point of clarification, can you tell me how you've set up your Transmission and Distribution module (for example, please describe the module properties which you assigned when you added the module)?

Nonetheless, if you create a new Transformation module for Transmission and Distribution losses, you will need to add each process manually - one process for each fuel that passes through the module, which you subject to some amount of energy loss.

Hope this helps,

Taylor

Hello Taylor, thanks for helping. I added the fuels manually. By "appeared automatically" i meant i didn't add those branches to the transmission and distribution module but they were there. Anyway, that matter is resolved. Thanks again.
