Simulation of two time frame in a model

Post by RWTH_FCN »

Hi,

My model simulates electricty market(auction of electricity) houlry for 35 years. I am adding new capacity market for renewables to it which should be simulated each 3 months(4 times per year). I would like to ask you that is there any function which could be helpful for this modeling?

Best Regards

There should be no problems simulating both in the same model. Reducing the time step should not change results significantly in a model.

If you need a trigger for the market event, PULSE TRAIN might be helpful.

Thank you so much. I just needed a function like what you suggested.
