Variables

Variables are the outputs from calculating a scenario. They show the decisions taken to solve the optimization problem. When you calculate a scenario, you can choose which variables to output (see the varstosave argument of calculatescenario). NEMO will then save the selected variables in the scenario database. Each saved variable gets its own table with columns for its dimensions (labeled with NEMO's standard abbreviations - e.g., r for region), a value column (val), and a column indicating the date and time the scenario was solved (solvedtm).

Nodal vs. non-nodal variables

Many NEMO outputs have "nodal" and "non-nodal" variants. Nodal variables show results for regions, fuels, technologies, storage, and years involved in transmission modeling - i.e., for cases where capacity, demand, and supply are simulated in a nodal network. To enable transmission modeling, you must define several dimensions and parameters: nodes, transmission lines, TransmissionModelingEnabled, TransmissionCapacityToActivityUnit, NodalDistributionDemand, NodalDistributionStorageCapacity, and NodalDistributionTechnologyCapacity. Non-nodal variables show results for cases where transmission modeling is not enabled.

Note

Non-nodal variables for energy use can include use of transmission-enabled fuels by technologies that are not involved in transmission modeling - i.e., technologies that are not assigned to nodes in NodalDistributionTechnologyCapacity. See the variable descriptions below for more details. Technologies that are not involved in transmission modeling are not allowed to produce transmission-enabled fuels.
