Capital Cost of Investment

[seb]

Hello,
I tried to set up a simple model, but encountered problems with the definition of the capital cost. Whenever I use NCAP_COST (or INVCOST) to define the total cost of investment in a new capacity,
GAMS reports an "Unexpected Termination of Run!" GAMS runs properly, if I do not use this definition, but a Dummy Import is used to calculate the prices. What am I doing wrong? I'll post my process. Hopefully, someone can help. Thanks a lot in advance!

Can you see G_DRATE in browse? what value are you using?

Post the LST file from the run... or just copy-paste the portion where the error is reported.

Hi Amit,
I changed the G_DRATE value form 1^E-23 to 0.0001 and the error vanished, thanks a lot.
