I think I understood. That's what I am trying to avoid. Cause I need the capacity of the geothermal plant. If the outputs have different units, how do we calculate the capacity? My way, the outputs have the same units, and obtaining a capacity is easier.
Here are some figures with the results:
CHW CAPACITY
CHW GENERATION
IND CAPACITY
IND GENERATION
@samgdotson it seems like the capacity of the geothermal plant is counted both for the steam and the chilled water production. This is the problem with having both plants as only one technology. We might need to separate the technologies after all. The problem is that TEMOA will most likely deploy steam and chilled water geothermal plants with capacities that are not correlated to each other, which is not true in real life.
@samgdotson this is ready for review. I cleaned the jupyter notebooks and I fixed a few things. Among those things, we were confusing mega-tons with kilo-tons in some tables. Similarly to GWh and MW, the activity units for UCWS should be mega-ton-hours, while for the capacity, the units should be kilo-tons. I corrected some numbers based on that.
Merging, inspite of failed checks -- circle ci config file is not properly set up.
Fixes #150. Here is the figure of the new model:
As
GEOT
has two outputs that have different units (MWth and tons) I preferred to split the conversion fromELC
toUCWS
into two steps.GEOT
converts MWe into MWth. AndDGEOT
converts MWth into tons. This way, we can calculateTechOutputSplit
using the thermal outputs fromGEOT
. Let me know what you think about this @samgdotson.
