Brazil-Offshore Wind Model

Installation and running the model It is necessary to install Calliope to run the model. Instructions for installation and running the model are available at:https://calliope.readthedocs.io/. Temporal resolution The temporal resolution of the model is 6 hours by default. You can set the model with another resolution in the "overrides" file: time_resampling: model.time: {function: resample, function_options: {'resolution': '6H'}} Note that running the model might be computationally expensive. The full model contains one year of data. To test the model, specify a shorter time subset in the "overrides" file > weather years. For instance, over ten days of data: year_2010: model.subset_time: ['2010-01-01', '2010-01-10'] Scenarios The scenario names are structured as follows: bias correction factor case + scenario name+ weather year. Example: low_baseline_2019 Bias correction factor case: Low: represents the 25th percentile of bias correction factor at farm level aggregated by state; Median: represents the 50th percentile of bias correction factor at farm level aggregated by state; Up: represents the 75th percentile of bias correction factor at farm level aggregated by state; Scenario name baseline: status quo; offshore wind farm capex reduction: capex is reduced by 10%, 30%, 50%, and 70%; natural gas prices: in gas low, the gas price is US$ 24.87, while in gas high, US$ 62.05; offshore wind farm capex reduction + natural gas price: capex reduction (10%,30%,50%, and 70%) combined with the high price of natural gas. Weather year Weather years include data from 2000 to 2019.
