Overview of the sheet
The “Demand” sheet defines the user demand for grid-supplied electricity. Where the electricity demand has been estimated in other modules, (households, nonresidential, industry and transport) the power module uses these estimations and forecasts the rest of the economy’s electricity demand from GDP growth projections adjusted to reflect changes in demand resulting from Energy Efficiency and other measures implemented in each energy consuming sector. The GDP and elasticities are linked from the General module in rows 15-31.
You can modify the amount of captive electricity demand (on-site power produced and consumed without a grid connection) at national or regional (if the study is on a region) level in K45. And you can insert directly the grid electricity demand at national or regional (if the study is on a region) level in K46. The sum in K44 is the overall demand.
The %-wise growth in Captive demand for each of the two scenarios run should be inserted in BF41-DY41
The Power Module can also be run with direct input on national grid demand (in K49-K53), decoupled from all the other Sector Modules, when B71-B77 are de-clicked. The demand based on these inputs are presented in rows 57-67.
Clicking B71-B77 takes the values from the other sector sheets and uses them in demand projections in rows 69-86. Depending on the relative size of the direct input in K45-53 and of the other sector inputs the total sectoral demand is estimated in rows 88-102.
You will need to input data for each Scenario you run for the following topics:
- Electricity price change expressed in % per year (in BF109-DY109), and
- Generator efficiency of captive power (in BF120-DY120).
And in K120 for an estimated generator efficiency of captive power generation (electricity production/fuel input in %).
Based on this the CO2 emissions are calculated for captive and non captive power production in the bottom rows 116-132
