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
| Token | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
scenario_group_id |
String | Matches the scenario-group id assigned to a component in the system file. |
scenario |
Integer (≥ 0) | 0-based index of the Monte Carlo scenario. |
time_series_index |
Integer (≥ 1) | 1-based column index in the data series file to use for this scenario. |
Example
thermal_group, 0 = 1
thermal_group, 1 = 5
hydro_group, 2 = 7
