Strange Consequential electricity mix #140

Closed romainsacchi closed 5 months ago

romainsacchi commented 6 months ago

I'm working with the consequential version of Premise in SimaPro.

When I compare the European electricity mixes of remind SSP2-Base 2030, 2040 and 2050, the 2040 mix seems odd.

2030 is 52% PV, 40% onshore wind, 7% offshore wind, and 2050 is only wind (on- and offshore). However, the 2040 mix is 34% nuclear, 31% natural gas and 29% hard coal and lignite + biomass and hydro.

When I look at the Premise dashboard (https://premisedash-6f5a0259c487.herokuapp.com/) I cannot recognise the 2040 mix in the data.

Is there a reason for this, or has there been a mistake somewhere?

The issue was that lead times were incorrectly used instead of lifetime values.
