Instructions to Make an Initial Run

Step 1 - Double-click RunAll.bat from the \2020Model directory.

RunAll.bat will execute an entire run of the model from reading the input data through creating a reference case energy forecast. 

The time to complete a full model run will take between 12 hours to 24 hours, depending on your computer specifications.


Step 2 - View model results. 

When the model run is finished, results cans be found in \2020Model\ReferenceCaseName, such as \2020Model\Ref25. 

Automated outputs are created as semi-colon delimited text files with .dta file extensions. The figure below shows the location of the results .dta files generated for a Ref25 scenario run. 

See Model Outputs section for a listing of the output files that are generated automatically.

🛈

Follow the instructions in Viewing Output Tables to open and parse the semicolon-delimited dta file into Excel.
