Hands-on 9 quiz answers marked incorrect

Hello everyone,

I would like to ask whether anyone has experienced a similar issue with the Hands-on 9 quiz.

I have carefully checked my model inputs against the tutorial and Data Preparation file, including the Emission Activity Ratio, reserve-margin constraint, and UDC multipliers. The model results and overall graph patterns also appear consistent with the exercise, but two of my quiz answers are still marked incorrect.

I initially used MUIO v5.6, but the results differed because newer versions include calculation updates. I then tried MUIO v5.0, as used in the tutorial, but it did not work properly on my computer. I am currently using MUIO v5.3, since it is closer to v5.0 and predates the later calculation changes.

Has anyone encountered the same issue? Could it be related to the MUIO version, solver behaviour, rounding tolerance, or a different reference model used for the quiz?

I would really appreciate any advice on how to resolve this. Thank you very much for your help.

Dear @winwul, we have recently updated the quiz answers to align with the latest version of MUIO 5.6

Dear @Fernando_Plazas, Thank you for your response. I managed to resolve the problem by starting fresh with MIUO v5.6.

Dear @winwul, I am also using MUIO 5.6 but my answers for Hands-on 9 are also marked wrong. It was fine up until Hands-on 8. Can you share what you did to resolve the issue? Thank you.

Hi @winwul, how did you resolve this issue? Did you start the OU course all over again using MUIO 5.6?

@shetob have you managed to fix this yet?

I have someone else who has had the same issue.

Hi @KaneAlexander

No, not yet.
I redid Hands-on 8-10 a couple of times but the results are still different from the quiz.

Thank you for letting me know, others are facing this issue. We will try to figure out the issue and get back to you.

Hi @shetob, I managed to resolve the problem by starting fresh with MIUO v5.6.

Hi @kanealexander, I was able to resolve the issue by re-initializing the setup using MIUO v5.6.

@winwul, I use MUIO 5.6 since the start of the training. I could not match the results. Is there anything that is not written clearly in the module that I might miss?

Okay, thank you. Did you rebuild the whole model with 5.6 and then it worked fine? It seems @shetob started with 5.6 and is facing a similar issue.

@shetob what answers did you get for Q1 and Q3 for the hands-on 9 quiz?

Dear @shetob, Could you please share your .txt data file for Hands-on 09? I can compare it with the reference case and identify any potential differences.

Dear @Fernando_Plazas,

I have attached the zip of the run.
Thank you for checking the simulation.

Dear @shetob, Please update your Discount Rate parameter from 0.1 to 0.05, as this is the main difference affecting the results you are obtaining in your case. A correction to the Hands-on 2 material is required to reflect the correct value.

I followed the earlier module (Hands-on 2) that set the discount rate and individual discount rate in the Parameters & Variables tab.

Noted, I will change the Discount Rate in the Data entry tab. Should I also change the Discount Rate Idv in Data entry tab?

No, those values are correct.
