Changes since v1.1
- Fix: Logical Constraints are modified to fix a bug that used to initialize the binary decision variables (on and switch) for each horizon (e.g., 24 hours)
- Fix: Ramp Rate Constraints are modified to fix ramping constraints
- Fix: Up/Down Time Constraints are modified to fix minUp/minDown constraint violation within the same horizon. Note that the constraint violation across horizon is not fixed, but we checked that the violation is minimal in a run
- Enhancement: Export demand for nodes dependent on Laos hydropower are now varied according to hydropower availability (used to be a fixed value)
- Enhancement: Derate factors of dispatchable units are now hourly inputs and are provided in separate csv files saved as ‘deratef_xxxx’, where ‘xxxx’ denotes the simulation year
- Enhancement: Options for applying time limit to optimization is added
- Enhancement: Input files are organized into a separate folder
- Enhancement: Storing process of outputs in the solver script slightly reduced the computational requirements
