Results Overview

After optimizing the model, the following things happen:

parse_results! is called, gathering all values and shadow prices from the JuMP Model into data[:raw]. The model is then emptied to free up memory. After running this, raw results can be accessed with:
- get_raw_result and get_raw_results
- results can now be computed using compute_result
process_results! is called, which in turn calls [modify_results!(mod, config, data)] for each Modification in the config. Here are a couple of Modifications that write some handy results:
- YearlyTable
- AggregationTemplate

E4ST.parse_results! — Function

parse_results!(config, data, model) -> nothing

Gathers the values and shadow prices of each variable, expression, and constraint stored in the model and dumps them into data[:results][:raw] (see get_raw_results and get_results).
Adds relevant info to gen, bus, and branch tables. See parse_lmp_results! and parse_power_results! for more information.
Saves updated gen table via save_updated_gen_table
Saves data to get_out_path(config,"data_parsed.jls") unless config[:save_data_parsed] is false (true by default).

E4ST.process_results! — Function

process_results!(config::OrderedDict, data::OrderedDict) -> data

Calls modify_results!(mod, config, data) for each Modification in config. Stores the results into get_out_path(config, "data_processed.jls") if config[:save_data_processed] is true (default).

process_results!(config; processed=true) -> data

This reads data in, then calls process_results!(config, data).

processed=false - reads in data via read_parsed_results
processed=true - reads in data via read_processed_results

process_results!(mod_file::String, out_path::String; processed=true) -> data

Processes the results the Modifications found in mod_file, a .yml file similar to a config file (see read_config), only requiring the mods field.

processed=false - reads in data via read_parsed_results
processed=true - reads in data via read_processed_results

E4ST.parse_lmp_results! — Function

parse_lmp_results!(config, data, res_raw)

Adds the locational marginal prices of electricity and power flow.

table_name	col_name	unit	description
:bus	:lmp_elserv	DollarsPerMWhServed	Locational Marginal Price of Energy Served
:branch	:lmp_pflow	DollarsPerMWFlow	Locational Marginal Price of Power Flow

E4ST.parse_power_results! — Function

parse_power_results!(config, data, res_raw)

Adds power-based results. See also get_table_summary for the below summaries.

table_name	col_name	unit	description
:bus	:pgen	MWGenerated	Average Power Generated at this bus
:bus	:pflow	MWFlow	Average power flowing out of this bus
:bus	:pflow_in	MWFlow	Average power flowing into this bus
:bus	:pflow_out	MWFlow	Average power flowing into this bus
:bus	:plserv	MWServed	Average power served at this bus
:bus	:plcurt	MWCurtailed	Average power curtailed at this bus
:gen	:pgen	MWGenerated	Average power generated at this generator
:gen	:pcap	MWCapacity	Power generation capacity of this generator generated at this generator for the weighted representative hour
:gen	:ecap	MWhCapacity	Total energy generation capacity of this generator generated at this generator for the weighted representative hour
:gen	:pcap_retired	MWCapacity	Power generation capacity that was retired in each year
:gen	:pcap_built	MWCapacity	Power generation capacity that was built in each year
:gen	:pcapinvsim	MWCapacity	Total power generation capacity that was invested for the generator during the sim. (single value). Still the same even after retirement
:gen	:ecapinvsim	MWhCapacity	Total annual power generation energy capacity that was invested for the generator during the sim. (pcapinvsim * hours per year) (single value). Still the same even after retirement
:gen	:cf	MWhGeneratedPerMWhCapacity	Capacity Factor, or average power generation/power generation capacity, 0 when no generation
:branch	:pflow	MWFlow	Average Power flowing through branch
:branch	:eflow	MWFlow	Total energy flowing through branch for the representative hour

E4ST.get_raw_results — Function

get_raw_results(data) -> raw::Dict{Symbol, Any}

E4ST.get_raw_result — Function

get_raw_result(data, name) -> x

Retrieves the raw result in data[:raw][name]. See also get_raw_results.

E4ST.get_results — Function

get_results(data) -> results::OrderedDict{Symbol, Any}

E4ST.get_result — Function

get_result(data, name) -> retult

Retrieves data[:results][name]. See also add_result!

E4ST.add_result! — Function

add_result!(data, name, result) -> nothing

Adds result to data[:results]. See also get_result

E4ST.save_updated_gen_table — Function

save_updated_gen_table(config, data) -> nothing

Save the gen table to get_out_path(config, "gen.csv")

E4ST.update_build_status! — Function

update_build_status!(config, data, table_name)

Change the build_status of generators built in the simulation.

unbuilt -> new if last(pcap) is above threshold
built -> retired_exog if retired due to surpassing year_shutdown
built -> retired_endog if retired due before year_shutdown

E4ST.read_parsed_results — Function

read_parsed_results(config) -> data

read_parsed_results(out_path) -> data

Loads data in from get_out_path(config, "data_parsed.jls").

read_processed_results(config) -> data

read_processed_results(out_path) -> data

Loads data in from data_processed.jls.
