System Overview

In this tutorial, we will continue to use the energy system of Tudo and Rubbo. Unfortunately, the OCGT plant is broken down and cannot be used anymore. To run an energy system optimization with backbone, we have to perform the following three steps:

  1. Fill in the backbone input file in excel.
  2. Run backbone.
  3. Display and interpret results.
Below you can see once more see the structure of the energy system.

Detailed written explanation follows picture
Written system descritption for accesibility: The fuel grid contains three nodes: lignite, gas and hard coal. There are three units: lignite powerplant Tudo, CCGT powerplant Rubbo, Hard coal powerplant Rubbo. They are connected to the respective fuel node. In the electric grid, there are two nodes: Tudo and Rubbo, which have a billateral connection with a capacity of 400 MW. The lignite powerplant Tudo is connected to the electric node Tudo, the two other units are connected to the electric node Rubbo.
