Flows (MWh)#

indexed by: asset, consumption node, energy, technology and test case

Description#

The KPI computes the volumes flowing through a considered mono-directional transmission asset over the entire optimization horizon.

Flow volumes are defined as the energy consumed at the input node, and therefore include both the energy supplied to the output node and losses on the transmission asset.

Calculation#

The equation below is valid for any realization and is therefore implicitly indexed by test case.

Let be \(x_{a, e, n}\) the flow of a given asset \(a\), energy \(e\) and consumption node \(n\). Technology is directly deduced from the asset. We can then express \(x_{a, e, n}\) as:

\[x_{a, e, n} = \frac{1}{N_h} * \sum_{t} c_{a, e, n}(t)\]

Indexing#

  • The asset index refers to the name of the asset

  • The energy index is the energy consumes by the asset

  • The consumption node index of this KPI refers to the node in which the asset consumes

  • The technology index refers to the technology type of the asset

  • The test case index corresponds the test case of the realization variables and parameters are taken from
