We have had an effort for the last few years to update the model base year, and make the base year choice flexible, as well as depart from the five-year...

Opening up `electricity_water.xml` here is what I see for rooftop pv in the first region, in 2021: ``` 0.170000237372851 10 capital 0.0666666666666667 11.8736963250617 ``` So, it appears we've pre-levelized the...

Normally the `market` is either a region or "global", so I'd recommend you try running it in a single region just to start, and assign that region's name as the...

In the building sector, technology efficiency represents the units of useful service output per unit of energy consumed. For the thermal services (heating, cooling) this simply means the heat transfer...

The XML file `elec_segments_water_USA.xml` has the following subsectors of peak electricity: ``` ... ... ... ... ... ``` So there's a generic storage technology whose characteristics are based on the...

Storage technologies, as with all electric generation technologies in the model, are represented in terms of the bulk flow of electricity for the model region in each modeled year. There...

The simplest answer is that GCAM does not really maintain a structural model that endogenously estimates electricity generation and capacity independently. Rather, the structural model is really aimed at estimating...

Any technology or set of technologies can have its output constrained to an exogenous level. If it's all within one model region, the easiest way is to use `input-tax` and...

It's hard to say exactly without seeing the prices involved, but the behavior looks generally consistent with the input assumptions; those are some pretty dramatic decreases in fixed charge rates!...

What you'd need to do is either re-parameterize or delete the `profit-shutdown-decider`. As-is, switching from one exogenous retirement schedule to another won't address the problem, which is driven by the...
