Output Results

The output includes several maps of the electricity and hydrogen network and plots showing the energy share of different technologies.

Some other additional plots are also plotted by the model.

In addition, the model generates several other plots to visualise key results. The CSV files used to store the output results are of three types:

  1. Derived/Transformed Values: Files that are derived or transformed from the values of variables.

  2. Optimisation variable values: Files related to the values of each variable in the optimisation problem.

  3. Dual Values of Constraints: Files containing the dual values associated with the constraints.

Unit conventions:

  • For the first type (derived/transformed values), power is expressed in MW, energy in GWh, cost in M€ and hydrogen in kgH2.

  • For the last two types of CSV files (values of optimisation variables and dual values of constraints), power is expressed in GW, cost in M€ and hydrogen in tH2.
