Scenario Builder

The modeler-scenariobuilder.dat file, located in the data-series directory, is used to map simulation scenarios to columns of data series. Each line defines an association between a scenario group name and a Monte Carlo scenario (referred to as scenario) with a data series column identifier (referred to as time series index).

Purpose

The scenario builder associates:

  • scenario group ID
  • Monte Carlo scenario (referred to as scenario)
  • time series index

allowing the model to select which data series column is used for a given scenario group and simulation scenario.

File Format

Each line in the modeler-scenariobuilder.dat file defines a single mapping using the following format:

scenario_group_id, scenario = time_series_index

Example

thermal_group, 0 = 1
thermal_group, 1 = 5
hydro_group, 2 = 7
