3.2.17 LifetimeTech
𝐿𝑇 𝐶 𝑝∈𝑃,𝑡∈𝑇,𝑣∈𝑉
Similar to LifetimeLoan, this parameter specifies the total useful life of technology, years. If not specified, the default
is 10 years.
3.2.18 MaxCapacity
𝑀 𝐴𝑋 𝑝∈𝑃,𝑡∈𝑇
The MaxCapacity parameter enables a modeler to ensure that a certain technology is constrained to an upper bound.
The enforcing constraint ensures that the max total capacity (summed across vintages) of a technology class is under
this maximum. That is, all active vintages are constrained. This parameter is used only in the maximum capacity
constraint.
3.2.19 MinCapacity
𝑀 𝐼𝑁 𝑝∈𝑃,𝑡∈𝑇
The MinCapacity parameter is analogous to the maximum capacity parameter, except that it specifies the minimum
capacity for which Temoa must ensure installation.
3.2.20 ResourceBound
𝑅𝑆𝐶 𝑝∈𝑃,𝑐∈𝐶𝑝
This parameter allows the modeler to specify resources to constrain per period. Note that a constraint in one period
does not relate to any other periods. For instance, if the modeler specifies a limit in period 1 and does not specify a
limit in period 2, then the model may use as much of that resource as it would like in period 2.
3.2.21 SegFrac
𝑆𝐸𝐺𝑠∈𝑆,𝑑∈𝐷
The SegFrac parameter specifies the fraction of the year represented by each combination of season and time of day.
The sum of all combinations within SegFrac must be 1, representing 100% of a year.
3.2.22 TechInputSplit
𝑆𝑃 𝐿𝑖∈𝐶𝑝 ,𝑡∈𝑇
Some technologies have a single output but have multiple input fuels. For the sake of modeling, certain technologies
require a fixed apportion of relative input. See the TechOutputSplit constraint for the implementation concept.
3.2.23 TechOutputSplit
𝑆𝑃 𝐿𝑡∈𝑇,𝑜∈𝐶𝑐
Some technologies have a single input fuel but have multiple output forms of energy. For the sake of modeling, certain
technologies require a fixed apportion of relative output. For example, an oil refinery might have an input energy of
crude oil, and the modeler wants to ensure that its output is 70% diesel and 30% gasoline. See the TechOutputSplit
constraint for the implementation details.
