Running Balmorel

To setup Balmorel in GAMS Studio, you can drag and drop the Balmorel.gms into GAMS Studio to create a correctly setup project. It is important to ensure that the working directory is in your/path/to/Balmorel/test_run/model, as illustrated in the Figure below.

How to check the working directory of your GAMS project — Check your working directory by opening View/Project Explorer, and then press the gear icon ⚙️ next to “Balmorel”.

Make sure that Balmorel/test_run/model/Balmorel.gms is the main file and press the green run button ▶️. Balmorel should now optimise model year 2030, 2040, 2050 for Denmark and Norway using the previously specificed timesteps.

Command-Line Interface

Balmorel can also be run using GAMS’ command-line interface (CLI). You will need to use this when running on a HPC. The commands below change directory to the relevant scenario/model folder (assuming that your command prompt is already inside the Balmorel folder) and executes Balmorel.

cd test_run/model
gams Balmorel
