Nomenclature

Process Nomenclature

As the process and therefore the specifications of the processes are very detailed, a consistent nomenclature has been defined within the SEDOS project. e.g. the process "pow_combustion_cc_chp_methane_1" consists of elements of all the defined columns in the following table. This table helps to understand the meaning of the process names.

The abbreviation of these categories are added as prefix to all commodities to identify them easily. The exogenous demand in the model is defined in such a way that the model has maximum degrees of freedom to choose between the technologies to meet the demand. The final energy in the system is thus determined endogenously in the model. In the model structure additionally the "_orig" suffix can be found. This has been used to describe delivery processes e.g. for pipelines in a one node model approach. For example "sec_methane_orig" is converted to "sec_methane" in the "x2x_delivery_methane_pipeline_0" process which is modelled with a simplified efficiency and costs. These are not listed above.

The structure of the emission commodities is elaborated in Emission Concept
