CHP GT

Attribute	Unit	Data type	Description
deployment	–	bool	If set to ‘true’, the technology will be considered in the energy system model (this does not necessarily mean it will be used). Only relevant for optimisation.
deploy_existing	–	bool	If set to ‘true’, existing gas turbine will be deployable.
kW_el_max	kW	float	Maximum capacity (electric power output) of newly built CHP gas turbines.
force_cap_max	kW	bool	Force implementation of maximum capacity specified in kW_el_max. Only relevant for optimisation.
hv_gas_MJpkg	MJ/kg	float	Heating value (lower) of gas
eta_el		float	Electrical conversion effiency.
htp_ratio	kW_th/kW_el	float	Heat-to-power (htp) ratio (kW_th/kW_el)
gas_price_CHFpkWh	CHF/kWh	float	Price of gas.
co2_intensity	kg CO2/kWh	float	Carbon-dioxide intensity of technology output (annual average value).
lifetime	years	int	Expected lifetime of technology before replacement is required.
capital_cost	CHF/kWp	float	CAPEX cost of technology per unit of capacity.
maintenance_cost	CHF/kWp/year	float	OPEX cost of technology per unit of capacity.
interest_rate	–	float	Interest rate for computing levelised costs (if required).
allow_heat_export	–	bool	Is it allowed to export heat?
heat_export_subsidy	CHF/kWh	float	Export subsidy for heat. Can be needed when optimizing in the LP-mode.
