Transmission view (MW)#

indexed by: asset, data_type, energy, consumption node, production node, technology, test case

Description#

This KPI provides temporal results regarding transmission assets in order to analyse the production/consumption levels of these assets in relation to their installed or available capacity. In modelling jargon, the consumption of a transmission asset corresponds to the energy input to the transmission and the production to the energy output from the asset.

Then for each transmission asset, the KPI displays the installed production capacity, the available production capacity as well as the production at each timestep. In the same way, it also computes the installed consumption capacity, the available one and the consumption at each timestep.

Calculation hint

Production capacity and transmission capacity are not exactly equal. Losses occur between consumption (line input) and production (line output). These losses are a parameter of the model and are expressed in %.

Calculation#

All the equations below are valid for any realization and are therefore implicitly indexed by test case.

The energy, the production and consumption nodes as well as the technology of each asset are directly deduced from the asset name.

For each transmission asset \(a\), six temporal results are displayed

  • installed consumption capacity: This is directly the installed capacity of the transmission asset \(p_a^{*}\). This is constant over all the timesteps. This can be either a simulation input or the result of a capacity optimization (cf. KPI Installed capacities).

  • available consumption capacity: This takes into account the availability of the line, i.e., this is the installed consumption capacity, multiplied by the availability of the line \(p_a^{*}.av_a(t)\).

  • consumption: This is a direct simulation output corresponding to the consumption of the asset: \(c_{a,e,n}(t)\).

  • installed production capacity: This is the installed capacity of the line, taking into account the losses, i.e. the installed production capacity multiplied by the losses along the line \(p_a^{*}.l_a(t)\). This is not constant over all the timesteps as losses can vary over the timesteps.

  • available production capacity: This takes into account the availability of the line, i.e., this is the installed production capacity, multiplied by the availability of the line \(p_a^{*}.l_a(t).av_a(t)\).

  • production: This is a direct simulation output corresponding to the production of the asset: \(p_{a,e,n}(t)\).

Indexing#

  • The asset index refers to the name of the transmission asset

  • the data_type index refers to type of data displayed (installed consumption capacity, available consumption capacity, consumption, installed production capacity, available production capacity, production)

  • The energy index is the energy produced/consumed by the asset

  • The consumption node index of this KPI refers to the node in which the asset consumes (energy input of the transmission)

  • The production node index of this KPI refers to the node in which the asset produces (energy output of the transmission)

  • 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
