Headline metrics
At the top of the results, key figures summarise the scenario:- Total system cost: the discounted cost of the whole system over the modelling period. It includes capital investment costs, fixed operating costs, and fuel and variable operating costs, with salvage values offset against capital investment. All costs are discounted to the start year. See Financial inputs for how discounting works
- Total emissions (CO2e): total emissions across the modelling period, from the start year to the end year
Charts
Results are presented as a set of charts, each broken down by technology and summed across the geographies in your scenario:- Total Operating Capacity by Technology: installed capacity by technology in each model year
- Total Generation by Technology: electricity generated by each technology. For capacity expansion this is shown by year; for dispatch it is shown across the hours of the modelled year
- Emissions: emissions by technology over time
- Total Cost Breakdown: total discounted cost split by technology and cost type:
- Capital Investment Cost
- Fixed operations & maintenance cost
- Fuel and Variable Operations & Maintenance Cost
Filtering by geography
In a regional (multi-node) model, the results default to All geographies. Use the geography selector to focus on a single node and see its capacity, generation, and emissions in isolation. This is useful for understanding regional differences, such as where renewable generation is concentrated or where a zone relies on imports.Capacity expansion vs dispatch
The two model types answer different questions, so their results differ:- Capacity Expansion results focus on the long-term investment pathway: how capacity, generation, emissions, and total system cost evolve year by year
- Dispatch results focus on the operation of a single year at high temporal resolution, showing how generation is dispatched across the hours of the year
