The “Supply” sheet takes the electricity needed to be
supplied to the grid as input.

Modifications to this sheet ...
If changes are made
to the plants that will be built by the model this will modify the table in
rows 179 - 203.
If changes are made
here this same distribution of plants technology as in rows 179 - 203 must be
replicated on the new plants sheet in rows 7 - 31.
The same changes will
need to be applied to each of the sections of the output sheet.
The
“Supply” sheet takes the electricity needed to be supplied to the grid as
input. It adds to this any power shortages or spinning reserves – which refers
to power generation back-up capacity, which can quickly be brought into the
transmission system.
Data on the available year-by-year capacity for installed and planned power
plants is gathered from other excel sheets.
The Supply sheet then calculates how much additional capacity,
and new plants, are needed over the modeling period to meet demand. It
prioritizes the use of energy resources with low carbon emissions, including
Hydro Wind, Biomass, Solar and Nuclear based power. If these resources are not
sufficient to meet demand, the remaining new plants are built by the model
based on coal and gas according to a user defined plant type mix.
You will need to input data for each Scenario in percentage on:
- Power Supply Shortage (in K23);
- Safety Factor reserve for forecast errors (in K24);
- Percentage that can be satisfied by lowering frequency (in K25);
- Tertiary Spinning reserve (in K26);
- Additional reserve capacity (in K47),
You will also need data on the Planned capacity in megawatts by fuel type:
- Hydro - Total built per year,
- Wind - Total built per year,
- Biomass – Total built per year,
- Solar – Total built per year,
- Nuclear – Total built per year,
- Gas – Residual in percentage,
- Mix by technology type shares in percentage for hydro, nuclear, coal and so
on,
- And; distribution of fossil fuel types shares in percentage.
