NodalHVDCTransportTechnology

Package: PowerInvestmentsOpenAPIModels · Source: Investments/Technologies/NodalHVDCTransportTechnology.json

A nodal representation of candidate HVDC transmission lines between two regions, added in discrete units of unit_size and characterized by capacity limits, a capital cost curve, and a loss model expressed as a fraction of installed nameplate capacity.

Properties

Property	Type	Required	Unit	Description
id	integer	yes	—	ID for individual component.
name	string	yes	—	Name of the component.
available	boolean	yes	—	Indicator of whether the component is connected and online (true) or disconnected, offline, or down (false).
power_systems_type	string	yes	—	Corresponding type to be used in PCM modeling.
start_node	integer	yes	—	Start node for transport technology.
end_node	integer	yes	—	End node for transport technology.
capacity_limits	MinMax	—	MW	Allowable capacity for a transmission line. Units: MW.
capital_costs	CapitalCost	—	—	Capital and interconnection cost of adding new capacity to the nodal transmission line (capital cost in USD/MW).
line_loss	ValueCurve	—	1	Loss model coefficients. Accepts a linear model with a constant loss and a proportional loss rate, or a Piecewise loss with N segments for different proportional losses. All terms are defined as fraction of installed nameplate capacity. Units: 1.
unit_size	number	—	MW	Used for integer investment decisions. Represents the rating capacity of individual new lines. Units: MW.
financial_data	TechnologyFinancialData	yes	—	Struct containing relevant financial information for a technology.
