Generating _Trade_Links for multi-regional model

[kushagra]

Hello, I have a very basic question regarding the Scenario file Trade_Links on Veda 2.0. I am creating a Multi-Regional Model, defining multiple regions within the same workbook. However, I am not able to create Trade files to model trade movements between regions. As I understand from the documentation, I need to create Scen_Trade_Links and Scen_Trade_Param, but I am not able to create these two files in Veda. Do I need to make some changes to the SysSettings, to be able to create the stated scenario files? As we can see in the screenshot, there is no option to add a New Scenario. Also, attached is the screenshot defining regions.

Working examples can be very useful when learning Veda. See this model: https://github.com/kanors-emr/Model_Demo...mo_Nov2022

Thanks, Amit, for your response. I have been looking into some of the Demo models for reference. However, I am not able to find a solution to my issue. Could you please guide me to the specific files to look into to resolve my issue?

I think there is probably no solution to your specific file issue. I guess the idea is to create a ScenTrade__Trade_Links.xlsx file manually by oneself, and save it to the SuppXLS\Trades folder under the model template folder.

You could also try the attached ScenTrade__Trade_Links.xlsx, for starters. Just check that the ELCPRD commodity used there is valid for your electricity trade.

Thanks, Antii, for your response. I was expecting to be able to create a new trade file similar to how we do it in SubRes or Regular Scenarios. Now, as you say, we need to create a manual file, and it should sort out my issue.
