Warning

If a time series preparation algorithm was applied for the (main-)model, not every time-step of the model was modeled. This must be considered when analysing energy amounts. Simplifying, it can be assumed that the modeled amount of energy multiplied by the variable cost factor (see methods section) corresponds to the actual amount of energy over the entire period. Changes in the cost structure, on the other hand, are taken into account automatically.

Interactive Results

You will be automatically directed to this page after the optimization process (1) or you may want to analyze existing results (2) again.

1. Result processing after optimization process

The results differ depending on whether you used only one optimization criterion (a) or whether you did a multi-criteria optimization (b).

1a. Single-criteria optimization

In a single-criteria optimization, the costs, emissions, and energy demands of the neighborhood are displayed. In addition, you can view the system graph and all building-specific load profiles via the interactive results.

1b. Multi-criteria optimization

In multi-criteria optimization, several scenarios are calculated. For more information take a look at the method: Modeling Method. For each scenario, the results described for a single-criteria optimization can be displayed by selecting the reduction of the scenario (see (1) figure below). In addition, a Pareto diagram and energy amount diagrams are displayed (see (2) figure below).

2. Result processing of existing results

The difference is that you need to select a folder that you want to analyze.

Results as Spreadsheets and Log-Files

The results of the modeling are stored in the SESMG result folder which is places by default in the /users/documents/SESMG/result directory. The directory is created by the SESMG application. You can change the directory when you are using the advanced installation by following the note information in the installation description.

The results are saved in two formats: - as summarizing log files - as detailed xlsx-files.

The log-file gives an overview of which components are created and which of the investment options should be implemented. In addition, it is indicated which costs for the supply of the energy system are incurred in the optimized case. For each implemented bus, an xlsx-file is created in which incoming and outgoing energy flows are specified for each time step of the model are.
