Quick Help

[Tanzeel]

I want to override with early retirements in scenario file. The technologies should be phased out at once. 
I used UPD table and INS table with STOCK value to '0' in 2013 but it didn't work.

I noticed that there were no responses to your request for help, and so I decided to see if I can help by reproducing the problem.

I tested with the DEMO model, using an INS table with STOCK value 0 in the Base year for EGASOIL000. However, contrary to what you reported, that worked fully as expected:  The technology was completely phased out at once, just as you said you wanted. I then even checked the model generated by GAMS, and there were no variables at all left for this technology; it was in fact completely wiped out of the model, as its capacity was determined to be zero.

So it looks like it may be difficult to reproduce your problem. Maybe you could try and provide a reproducible test case?

Thank You. I check it again. I solved the problem by adding another switch of Stock~ to stop technology in BY templates which seems crude method but it worked.
In my case, I want to prepare a separate scenario to forcefully retire different technologies in following different years so I think that attribute Stock~ can be used as binary switch in INS/UPD tables.
