Hello everyone,

I am asking for some advice on how NEMO deals with references to results.

When I reference a result (using "prevyearvalue") in a cost variable, the value is shown correctly in the results screen.

However, it seems like in the optimization calculations the cost variable is not calculated properly, since I am getting a suboptimal result.

For further clarification:

The "variable OM cost" are set to
If( PrevYearValue(Capacity[GW]) < 5; 0; 100)

Although the "variable OM cost" are very high, once the capacity exceeds 5 GW, way more than 5 GW of the process will be built. In consequence, overall costs are much higher than in a copy of the scenario, in which "variable OM cost" are set to 100 from the start.

Is it possible to reference results in optimization-relevant parameters or should I avoid doing so?
And could you maybe think of a workaround to model similar references?

Your answer would be very helpful to improve the understanding of the way LEAP and NEMO are combined.

Thank you very much in advance,

Marek
