    please see the attached table and graph. the first year output is good like 132thousand GWH production is shown. so in next years it should increase. why there is sudden fall in readings from 2019 year and afterwards. normally the generation should be increasing in next years. please reply i am stuck at this point.

    Hi Ali,

    The results for 2018 is based on the data you inputted in the Historical Production variable. LEAP is calculating the outputs for 2019 onwards. For these years, LEAP calculates the outputs to try and meet the electricity requirements for the module. If you think that the outputs for 2019 onwards should be higher, you will need to adjust the electricity generation requirements. To adjust the electricity generation requirements, change the electricity demands entered in the Demand branches, the electricity export targets set in the electricity generation module, and any of the electricity demands from the modules above the electricity generation module. 

    Thanks,

    Emily

    From my experience, from learning and teaching, i have found, many researchers use the total generation (usually national data), even when they are analysis only specific sector - whose electricity demand would be obviously lower than total generation/supply. 

    Is it similar for your case too? 

    If it is, what you need to do is 
    • get the actual demand from (results - transformation .requirements) or  (results - Energy demand - electricity) 
    • get it multiples by factor transmissions and distribution loss - this is what your historical production required for demand would be
    • for share of production by each type, you can use same share as base year and for later years you can adjust process share (use dispatch rule to set process share)
