Capacity and investment limit parameters

These parameters constrain the total capacity of technologies and the capacity additions NEMO endogenously makes for technologies. Counterpart limits for storage and transmission are described in Storage parameters and Transmission, node, and trade parameters.

Total annual maximum capacity

Maximum capacity for a technology in a year (including both exogenous and endogenous capacity). Only specify this parameter if you want to enforce a particular limit.

Scenario database

Table: TotalAnnualMaxCapacity

Total annual maximum capacity investment

Maximum addition of endogenously determined capacity for a technology in a year. Only specify this parameter if you want to enforce a particular limit. This parameter is scaled up to account for non-modeled years when selected years are calculated.

Scenario database

Table: TotalAnnualMaxCapacityInvestment

Total annual maximum capacity (by region group)

Maximum capacity for a technology in a year and region group (including both exogenous and endogenous capacity). Only specify this parameter if you want to enforce a particular limit.

Scenario database

Table: TotalAnnualMaxCapacityRG

Total annual maximum capacity investment (by region group)

Maximum addition of endogenously determined capacity for a technology in a year and region group. Only specify this parameter if you want to enforce a particular limit. This parameter is scaled up to account for non-modeled years when selected years are calculated.

Scenario database

Table: TotalAnnualMaxCapacityInvestmentRG

Total annual maximum capacity (by technology group)

Maximum capacity for a technology group in a year and region (including both exogenous and endogenous capacity). Only specify this parameter if you want to enforce a particular limit.

Scenario database

Table: TotalAnnualMaxCapacityTG

Total annual maximum capacity investment (by technology group)

Maximum addition of endogenously determined capacity for a technology group in a year and region. Only specify this parameter if you want to enforce a particular limit. This parameter is scaled up to account for non-modeled years when selected years are calculated.

Scenario database

Table: TotalAnnualMaxCapacityInvestmentTG

Total annual minimum capacity

Minimum capacity for a technology in a year (including both exogenous and endogenous capacity). Only specify this parameter if you want to enforce a particular limit (other than 0, which NEMO assumes by default).

Scenario database

Table: TotalAnnualMinCapacity

Total annual minimum capacity investment

Minimum addition of endogenously determined capacity for a technology in a year. Only specify this parameter if you want to enforce a particular limit (other than 0, which NEMO assumes by default). This parameter is scaled up to account for non-modeled years when selected years are calculated.

Scenario database

Table: TotalAnnualMinCapacityInvestment

Total annual minimum capacity (by region group)

Minimum capacity for a technology in a year and region group (including both exogenous and endogenous capacity). Only specify this parameter if you want to enforce a particular limit (other than 0, which NEMO assumes by default).

Scenario database

Table: TotalAnnualMinCapacityRG

Total annual minimum capacity investment (by region group)

Minimum addition of endogenously determined capacity for a technology in a year and region group. Only specify this parameter if you want to enforce a particular limit (other than 0, which NEMO assumes by default). This parameter is scaled up to account for non-modeled years when selected years are calculated.

Scenario database

Table: TotalAnnualMinCapacityInvestmentRG

Total annual minimum capacity (by technology group)

Minimum capacity for a technology group in a year and region (including both exogenous and endogenous capacity). Only specify this parameter if you want to enforce a particular limit (other than 0, which NEMO assumes by default).

Scenario database

Table: TotalAnnualMinCapacityTG

Total annual minimum capacity investment (by technology group)

Minimum addition of endogenously determined capacity for a technology group in a year and region. Only specify this parameter if you want to enforce a particular limit (other than 0, which NEMO assumes by default). This parameter is scaled up to account for non-modeled years when selected years are calculated.
