Key analysis variables — key_analysis

This is the list of key rebound analysis variables. These variables are differenced later in the analysis.

Usage

key_analysis_vars

Format

A string list with 21 entries.

t_life: The expected lifetime of the device.
tau_alpha: A parameter that accounts for discounting of beginning-of-life purchases.
tau_omega: A parameter that accounts for discounting of end-of-life purchases.
eta_engr_units: Energy service efficiency, calculated by energy service divided by final energy consumed to provide that service, in engineering units.
eta: Energy service efficiency, calculated by energy service divided by final energy consumed to provide that service.
p_s: Energy service price [service/MJ], calculated by p_E/eta.
q_dot_s: The rate of energy service consumption [service/yr], calculated by eta*E_dot_s.
p_E: The price of energy [$/MJ]
E_dot_s: The rate of final energy consumption by the energy conversion device [MJ/yr].
E_dot_emb: The rate of embodied energy demand by the energy conversion device [MJ/yr], calculated by E_emb/t_life.
C_dot_s: The expenditure rate of energy consumption by the device [$/yr], calculated by p_s*q_dot_s.
C_dot_cap: The capital expenditure rate of the device without discounting [$/yr], calculated by C_cap/t_life.
C_dot_om: The operations and maintenance expenditure rate of the device [$/yr].
C_d: The disposal cost for the device [$/yr].
C_dot_d: The disposal cost rate of the device without discounting [$/yr].
tau_omega_C_dot_d: A parameter that accounts for discounting of disposal costs.
C_dot_omd: The operations, maintenance, and disposal expenditure rate of the device [$/yr].
C_dot_g: The other goods consumption rate [$/yr], calculated, initially, as a residual of the budget constraint.
N_dot: Net income [$/yr].
M_dot: Real income [$/yr].
