Problems with modeling a retrofit option

[Ceas19]

Dear VEDA community,

I am trying to model a CCS retrofit option for a blast furnance in the iron and still Industry. The problem that I find is that the retrofited capacity is not equal to the retired capacity. I have veryfied that the retire option  is activated in VEDA (see the picture in the attachments), in fact, the model uses the retrofiting option as a new technology that it can use as it wants.  So I would like to know what I am missing?

I attach the exel files with the representation of the blast furnace, and the retrofiting technology, I attach as well the retrofiting setup file and how veda reads this file!

Thank you very much for your help.

It looks like you are not defining any retrofit options.
The only PRC_REFIT instance appears to be :

  PRC_REFIT(R,'IISBLASTFUR00','IISBFCCS_RFTBF01')=2;

But as you should know (by reading the doc) this will have no effect, as the value is not ±1(mod 2). If you really want to force all retired capacity to be refitted, try using ±3 (as explained in the documentation), and not 2. As you should recall, the value 2 is meaningful only for the host process (p=prc).

Thank you very much Antti-L. I regarded the documentation before posting the problem and I did not figure it out the 3. However, I just tested what you said and that works. Thank you again.
