CSC Model Notation

Model Indices and Sets


NotationDescription
$z \in \mathcal{Z}$$z$ denotes a zone and $\mathcal{Z}$ is the set of zones in the network
$t \in \mathcal{T}$$t$ denotes an time step and $\mathcal{T}$ is the set of time steps
$t \in \mathcal{T}^{start}$This set of time-coupling constraints wrap around to ensure the output in the first time step of each year (or each representative period)
$t \in \mathcal{T}^{interior}$This set of time-coupling constraints wrap around to ensure the output in the inner time step of each year (or each representative period)
$d \in \mathcal{D}$Index and set of all DAC resources
$k \in \mathcal{K}$Index and set of all CO2 compression resources
$s \in \mathcal{S}$Index and set of storage resources in CO2 supply chain representing geological sequestration
