Veda2.0 Released!


ELC Car as night storage technology

Hi Amit,

Today, I found a very helpful tutorial on the VEDA Support website about how to model an electric vehicle as a night storage device. 
support.kanors-emr.org/#VEDA-FE/SubFile_ModelLibrary/NIGHTSTORAGEDEVICES.htm

I have a few quick questions about the tutorial, and how I might be able to adapt this technology to our CA-TIMES model.

(1)  The process set "NST" is not one that I've ever seen before.  Do I need to create this set in the SysSettings.xls workbook, or somewhere else?

(2)  The "TimeSlice" attribute is also a new one to me.  I can't find it in the Attributes Master of VEDA-FE.  Should I create it somewhere?

(3)  Can you explain a little bit more about the attribute "NSTTS"?  Is this a binary variable, with 0 and 1 being its only options?  In that case, it seems that in the "TimeSlice" attribute I simply specify the timeslices for which the electric charging is allowed (NSTTS = 1).  In our model, we have 48 timeslices, so the TimeSlice column will contain a long string of characters separated by commas...Or am I wrong about this?  Instead, can NSTTS take on values between 0 and 1, say 0.5.  In the latter case, I could specify that certain timeslices are used for 50% of the charging, and then I could specify another set of timeslices to charge 30%, and another 20%.

(4)  Why is the attribute "STG_EFF" used?  Could we instead use "EFF" or "CEFF"?

(5)  Could I represent plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs) in a similar way as the tutorial for ELC vehicles?  The main difference is that PHEVs use both liquid fuels and electricity, but only the electricity needs to be stored at night for use in the daytime.  The liquid fuel can be stored at anytime.  How can I specify the TimeSlice and NSTTS attributes to apply only to electricity and not to the liquid fuels?

I look forward to hearing from you.
David
