4. Long Term Model USER MANUAL February 2001 CHAPTER 7 THE POWER POOL WINDOWS INTERFACE The third year of the SAPP modeling work has seen the creation of the Power Pool Windows Interface This new windows facility provides greater user friendliness with the SAPP models such that a general user no longer requires any knowledge of the GAMS solver or to have any code editing skills The interface enables the general user to quickly and safely change the input data to the model and be provided with results in the form of output maps and tabulated files The interface is created using JAVA programming and now makes it very simple to Edit existing models generation and transmission data Create new models with up to ten time periods Run models with linear or integer variables Add and delete stations or lines View output regional and national data files View output maps The screen shots illustrated in this chapter show the windows facilities that are now available and provide an introduction to their use Advanced help facilities and other enhancements are planned On starting to run the interface a flash card appears for 20 seconds which is then followed by the Initial Selection Screen All of the options listed above are shown in this first screen These windows are produced from with JAVA program by extracting all of the required data from the GAMS code files The output maps provide a very powerful technique of collecting together
