Units

CLEWs Troubleshooting

Dear Francesco,

currently in exercise 5/6

Any Idea why my units as represented on capital costs and variable costs etc are shown as a fraction (as it is and should be in ‘availability factor’) but not as 10*USD/MW ect.

Thanks
Leigh

Dear Leigh,

Are you referring to the graphs on the results visualisation of https://www.osemosys-cloud.com/, specifically? May I ask you to attach screenshots?
There, we have only graphs for Capital Investment (in Million $) and Costs of Electricity Generation (in $/MWh).

Best,

Hi Francesco,
no not with the graphs…

see image below - this is for the capital cost and fixed parameter…the unit shouldn’t be represented like this

That said I’ve now got the units representing properly - maybe because i have filled in some other parameters (variable costs and operational life)?

Also, my fixed costs are synced with my capital costs- i.e. they won’t let me input them differently, what every i type on the fixed costs is immediately changed in my capital costs …

thanks

Hi Leigh,

The issues you are seeing with units and “linked parameters” are actually symptoms of a different problem. There is a bug in the drop down menu for the Region, Year, Technology form, which means that the form does not actually update when you select a new parameter. This seems to have been introduced in the latest release and should be easy to fix, since it works fine for other forms. I have alerted the developer who will release a new version that fixes this in the next day or two.

In the meantime the workaround is to use the “data entry” menu option in the side bar, rather than the drop down menu. Selecting parameters from this list should reload the right form every time.
