Outputs

The main outputs after a succesful Balmorel execution are all_endofmodel.gdx and MainResults.gdx. all_endofmodel.gdx contains everything, from sets, parameters, decision variable levels, etc. MainResults.gdx is post-processed outputs that are readable to a human energy system analyst.

We recommend the interactive bar plotting tool from the pybalmorel package for quick inspections. You will also find functions for plotting maps of transmission capacities and production profiles. See examples here.

The video below gives some tips on typical plots and practical guidance on analysing results using GAMS, excel or python.
