Overview of the sheet
The "Units" sheet provides the expected characteristics for existing and planned new plants for every year in the modeling period.
This sheet is calculated by Visual Basic with the data that corresponds to each year of the model’s timeframe.
The Units Sheet includes:
- Those plants in operation at the end of the current plan – the green rows;
- New plants that were originally programmed in the current capacity expansion plan but because of slippage are now programmed to be completed in the near future – the purple rows;
- New plants that are now programmed to be built in the future capacity expansion plans – the blue rows;
- Renewables and adjustments that are expected to be built in the future– the bright yellow rows;
- New units built by the model to meet the required demand in the modeling timeframe –the brown rows.
This sheet does not follow the general colour conventions, you should add data in more than just the pale blue cells. Data on existing and planned power plants should be added to the upper part of the list (Existing, planned and renewables), while the "New plants" part of the list is entirely built by the model, based on the future demand and the plants described in the NewPlants sheet.
Follow the examples given; fill the data in the green/purple/blue/yellow cells, but not the pale yellow columns, which contain formulas.
