RE_EXTREME

These scripts provide:

• the simulation of power generation (Nuclear, Fossil, Hydro, Wind, SolarPV) in Sweden using GAMS
• the possibility of simulating a multitude of simulations automatically according to a configuration file
• the semi-automatic analysis of results from the simulations

Headstart

To run a set of simulations automatically run the helper tool rungams as follows:

python3 rungams.py -s min_cost_elh2.gms -y csets.yml -p 28 --run --clean

rungams.py supports following options:

usage: rungams.py [-h] [-s SIM] [-y YML] [-p MAX_PROCS] [--clean] [--resume]
                  [--run]

runs gams processes in parallel

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -s SIM, --sim SIM     defines the yaml file
  -y YML, --yaml YML    defines the yaml file
  -p MAX_PROCS, --procs MAX_PROCS
                        how many processors should be used, default and
                        maximum is number of processors - 1
  --clean
  --resume
  --run
