constrain the sub-sectors in electricity and energy sector
Hello everyone, I am a newbie in running GCAM. I have been able to change GCAM inputs via policy changes like Carbon tax etc. I am now really looking for some help for the following questions -
-
In GCAM, Electricity sector has inputs from nine sub-sectors like coal, gas etc. I want to constrain the generation of electricity through these sub-sectors in some future years and then look at how prices of these markets will change. I am not able to understand what to change in the file electricity_water.xml. Do I need to fix share-weights?
-
Also, I would like to know how to constrain the consumption of primary energy. For example, fixing the consumption of fuels such as 40% refined liquids, 32% gas etc in future years. Is it possible to do in GCAM?
Any help will be highly appreciated! I really need some advice on how to move forward. Many thanks in advance!
