computation time comments: From input to output, including communication with the server the calculation takes less than a second (except with very slow internet connections).
computation time minutes: 0.0083333
contact persons: Chael Kruip
data availability: all
decisions: dispatch
deterministic: The user can assess the impact of almost every input variable and assumption
example research questions: What would happen (to reliability, CO2, cost) if we close all non-profitable power plants? Which combinations of options can we use to reach a certain goal (in sustainability, cost, import dependence etc.)?
