Testing

The model is being tested against a capacity expansion model presented in the paper On representation of temporal variability in electricity capacity planning models by Merrick 2016. The model additionally tests itself against previously calculated data to detect new errors.

Testing is defined in the /test/ directory:

• cep_exact_data.jld2 stores previously calculated data
• cep.jl is used to test the calculations against the capacity expansion model presented in the paper (TX_1) and the previously calculated data (GER_18, GER_1, CA_14, and CA_1)

In order to run the test:

using CapacityExpansion
include(joinpath(CapacityExpansion.DIR,"test","cep.jl"))
