Topic: Error in calculated base year Maximum AvailabilitySubscribe | Previous | Next

Hi,
"Times New Roman"">
I have a problem with the
calculated base year Maximum Availability value in LEAP2020. And, this caused
wrong result in the Primary Supply projection. The value is way too low
compared to it should be, different from what if I divide historical production
by exogenous capacity (of production or feedstock capacity) manually. I am not
so sure about this if the mistake was mine or not. But, I have tried to
reinstall LEAP2020 again and the problem still happened. I also have tried
another way to create a new transformation process in Freedonia and still got
the same error.
Best regards,
Joko
I found the answer for my problem above. When I use BOE as unit, the calculated base year Maximum Availabilities in the Transformation show the wrong results. But, if I use joule or watt hour, the calculated Maximum Availabilities are correct and the resulted primary energy supply projection is fine. I use BOE because most of our energy statistic data are in BOE.

Hi Joko - When you say BOE, do you mean you are setting the capacity of a plant in "BOE/Year" (note: this is a capacity unit)? Or are you taking about using BOE for the Historical Production variable (an energy variable)? If the former, then that is a very unusual unit to use, so I am wondering if there might be an error in its definition. Please also tell me exactly which version of LEAP you are using. I did update and correct a few unit definitions a while back.

Hi Charlie,
Thank you so much for the reply. I attach the Freedonia which I have already added two dummy processes in the Transformation. Both dummy processes are similar except the unit. For the first dummy process, I choose BBL Oil Equivalent/year for the Exogenous Capacity and BOE for the Historical Production. For the second dummy process, I choose Gigajoule/year and Gigajoule for the Exogenous Capacity and Historical Production respectively. I think the first dummy process gives the wrong result for the Current Account Maximum Availability. It should be 50%. The second dummy process which I use Gigajoule, gives the correct one. I apologize if I actually made some mistakes.
Best regards,
Joko
I could not attach the file Freedonia.leap, always rejected

I'm afraid I cannot tell what is happening from that PDF. If you want me to take a look please send me the backed up .leap file. If you cannot attach it to an email, pleas send to leap@sei.org using Dropbox box or similar.
Thanks!
