myopic / time-stepped solution

[cyang]

I'm trying to understand the terminology for the time-stepped solution in the VEDA-FE control panel.
My model has the following years 2012, 2015, 2020, 2025, 2030, 2035, 2040, 2045, 2050 and includes 2055 to improve the solution for 2050. 

I would like to run the model with no foresight (i.e. each timestep is optimized individually, with no knowledge of future technology costs, demands etc).  The Time-Stepped Solution control asks:
"Run in steps of __".  What should I put in the blank?  Is it 1 (for 1 time step) or is it asking for the number of years? 

thanks

Chris

Please see the documentation:

1) support.kanors-emr.org/#VEDA-FE/SubFile_CaseManager/TIMESVARIANTS_SWITCHES.htm

2) http://www.iea-etsap.org/docs/TIMES-Control-Switches.pdf

By reading the documentation, I hope it is clear to you what happens if you put 1 in the control?
