Hi, Ogecha -
Have you downloaded and run the installer for NEMO? If so, did it complete without errors?
It would also be helpful if you could post a screenshot of what you see when you select Help -> About LEAP... in the LEAP interface.
Thanks,
Jason

Thank you for your help Jason, It suddenly started working. I am not sure why that glitch happened

I have another query, if you'd oblige me. I have developed results for my Business as Usual scenario and I am trying to make sense of the results I obtained from the social cost result. I understand that the social cost can be based on several different factors depending on what the modeller wants to see. Here the social cost seems to be based on Transformation Costs. But I ponder the interpretation of this. I wonder how transmission cost can be viewed as social costs as the infrastructure are ran by private organisations.
I understand the case for demand costs, fuel costs, cost of unmet requirement etc they all have clear impact on the society. I am not clear as to how the transmission cost can be said to be social cost. If you can share more.

Hi Ogecha -
Social Costs in LEAP should be understood as being "without regard to who pays them/who benefits" (citizens, government through taxes, corporations, etc.). For example, you may enter a cost into LEAP's Demand Cost, or Capital Cost variable (to choose just two examples) that represent the cost of purchasing equipment. We make no further assumption about who makes the purchase, or how they recover their costs, and so we term these "social costs" because they are costs borne by society, where "society" is taken to mean whatever area or energy system is covered by the model. That's why, as a general practice, such costs in LEAP should exclude the effects of taxes or subsidies, which usually represent transfers from one actor to another (say, from government to industry, or citizens to government) within the boundaries of the same system.
Onto your specific question about transmission. Are you confusing the words "transmission" and "transformation"? Are you trying to model energy transmission?

Hope this helps,

Thank you for clarify. And you are right I meant "Transformation" just then.
I have tried to look at emissions mapping. Is it the case that some LEAP installations like mine don't have that tab under "settings"?

Hello Jason,
I have an observation with my optimization scenario in LEAP.
So the optimization scenario is purely ran based on the technoeconomic parameters and with the objective of minimizing for cost right?
I noticed that the optimization scenario which inherits data off the BAU scenario, shows a different set of result compared to an optimized scenario for which I set the exogeneous capacities to zero for same array of processes.
So it appears, the capacities planned and entered in the exogeneous capacity variable affects the results in my case.
Please can you speak to this?
Regards

Hi, Ogecha -
Capacity specified in the Exogenous Capacity variable in LEAP is always assumed to exist in optimized scenarios, so it certainly affects the results of optimization.
As for mapping, to enable that feature, you must download and install the mapping components available on the Download page - https://leap.sei.org/default.asp?action=download. See also LEAP's help for more information on how to use mapping.
Thanks,
Jason
