Water (70_water)

Description

The 70_water module calculates water demand in a post-processing mode if it is turned on. The method and results are described in Mouratiadou et al. (2016).

Output

Realizations

(A) exogenous

Exogenous water demand is calculated based on data on water demand coefficients and cooling shares.

Limitations Water demand is calculated in a post-processing of REMIND and not part of the optimization.

(B) heat

Exogenous water demand is calculated based on data on water demand coefficients and cooling shares. Vintage structure in combination with time dependent cooling shares as vintages and efficiency factors are also considered. Demand is a function of excess heat as opposed to electricity output.

Limitations Water demand is calculated in a post-processing of REMIND and not part of the optimization.

(C) off

The off-realization of the water module takes no water demand into account.

Limitations REMIND calculates no results regarding water demand.
