GreenREFORM-EUPractical guide · Coming later
User guide
The user guide is not published yet. It will be added here after the launch of this website. It is written for the analyst who will do the work: how to install the model, bring in your own data, calibrate it, run a policy experiment and read the results.
What it will cover
- Install. What you need on the machine: GAMS, a solver, Python, and how the run scripts fit together.
- The data set. Which national accounts and energy balance tables the model expects, and in what shape.
- Calibration. Reproducing your base year and checking that the accounts close.
- Running an experiment. Setting a shock, choosing the fiscal closure, switching the energy technology model on.
- Reading the output. The reporting tables and how to compare a scenario with the baseline.
- Adapting the model. Working with modules without breaking the rest of the system.
Until then
Start with Chapter 1 of the documentation and the appendix on CES trees and indexing. Between them they explain nearly all of the notation used in the code.
Support
The guide is written so that a team can work independently. If you plan to start a calibration before it is published, say so when you write to us.
