Error linking consumption mixes, eLCI1 (v1.0) #117

Closed bl-young closed 3 years ago

bl-young commented 3 years ago

Several consumption mixes have a near-zero input from the generation mix (1E-15)

Electricity; at grid; consumption mix - Alcoa Power Generating, Inc. - Yadkin Division Electricity; at grid; consumption mix - Gridforce South Electricity; at grid; consumption mix - Griffith Energy, LLC Electricity; at grid; consumption mix - NaturEner Power Watch, LLC (GWA) Electricity; at grid; consumption mix - NaturEner Wind Watch, LLC Electricity; at grid; consumption mix - New Harquahala Generating Company, LLC - HGBA Electricity; at grid; consumption mix - Southeastern Power Administration Electricity; at grid; consumption mix - Western Area Power Administration - Upper Great Plains East

In most cases the generation processes exist and therefore are not being pulled accurately.

Note some overlap with #119

m-jamieson commented 3 years ago

These are intentional - they are balancing authority areas that are net exporters. I just set a very small input so that the consumption mix plans would generate something. Prior to setting to 1E-15, the consumption mix processes weren't getting generated.

@bl-young suggests to remove these small fractions out and renormalize the totals to add to 1 with the remaining fractions

WesIngwersen commented 3 years ago

@jump2conclusionsmatt suggests we could manually find an energy mix for these BAs missing generation mixes

bl-young commented 3 years ago

@WesIngwersen I think your comments are swapped. The comments here apply to #119 and the comments there apply here (though there is some overlap)

m-jamieson commented 3 years ago

Started branch issues/117_119 for this. As discussed, the BAs that are purely exporting BAs are not having consumption mixes generated. The current changes in the branch achieve this. There are still consumption mixes at user that are still being generated. Will probably end up just dropping those from the dictionary at the time of posting the warnings about them.

Fixed with pull request #135.
