Output
Output datasets can be grouped into categories according to the following image.
Such categories divide results info specific analysis goals. To avoid manual processings, raw results like schedules and prices are automatically processed to for example assessments or power-flow inputs. Besides the default results diverse optional outputs are available that can be activated optionally in the project configuration. Default and optional outputs are described in this section.
All output file names include a suffix for the procedure step (linear, mixed or reopt) that specifies the procedure step of the output. The full output file name can be for example exchange_linear.csv, exchange_mixed.csv or exchange_reopt.csv depending on the selected simulation run type.
Names of extensive output files (like unit-by-unit and hour-by-hour schedules) include an additional suffix for the only comprising bidding zone (for example de) to limit the file size and keep the possibility for direct usage in spreadsheet programs like Microsoft Excel and LibreOffice Calc. Files with bidding zones as suffixes are written out for all bidding zones separately. The full output file name of a schedule can be for example emissions_linear_de.csv, emissions_mixed_de.csv or emissions_reopt_de.csv.
The format of output files like column and decimal delimiters can be adjusted in the project configuration.

Output taxonomy
In this section the taxonomy of every output file is explained. The taxonomy includes the definition for each single statement. Output files can be distinguished between multiple taxonomy types.
- Reference
- Preprocessed
- Time series
- Balances and assessments
The reference and preprocessed file taxonomy is equal to the input file taxonomy. Time series outputs like general or unit-by-unit files state the header in the first two rows from the top and the legend in the first two columns from the left. The header includes the unit, the hour time stamp and hour number. The legend includes the name of a single component or a component group. Balances and assessment files state the header in the first row describing the value and its unit.
General outputs

| dump_energy_al | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| energy_not_served_al | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
The initial columns cover the total commitment of thermal, hydro and demand-side response components separately. Afterwards, the feed-in of each renewable energy source and the total inflexible load is displayed. The end comprises given and flexible im- and export sums as well as the dump energy and the energy not served. These output values are repeated for each bidding zone. Since all components are considered in the file based on the generator-reference-arrow system (also called active sign convention), the load equation can be seen for each bidding zone and hour. Thus, the sum of all values for each bidding zone and hour lies at zero.
Total unit commitment per fuel type
commitment_per_fuel.csv total unit commitment per interval, fuel type and bidding zone with following schema:
[MWh/h] | interval p_max | 1 010118@00:00 | 2 010118@01:00 | 3 010118@02:00 |

[MWh/h] | interval | 1 010118@00:00 | 2 010118@01:00 | 3 010118@02:00 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| dump_energy_al | 0 | 0 | 0 | |
| dump_energy_at | 0 | 0 | 0 | |
| dump_energy_ba | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Dump energy refers to the electricity generation that needs to be curtailed to keep the load covered, but not oversupplied. Dump energy is typically caused by excess electricity generation from renewable energy sources.
Energy not served
energy_not_served.csv specifies the total energy not served per bidding zone and hour with following schema:
[MWh/h] | interval p_max | 1 010118@00:00 | 2 010118@01:00 | 3 010118@02:00 |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| energy_not_served_at | 12101 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| energy_not_served_ba | 2101 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Energy not served refers to the amount of energy demand, which is not supplied. Only via energy not served the total supply can meet the total demand in a given bidding zone and hour. Energy not served typically occurs due to insufficient electricity generation resources in the market. To cover the energy not served, available generation capacities need to be provided from components outside the defined market model.
Spot exchange
exchange_spot.csv specifies flexible endogenous bilateral commercial flows between bidding zones for per interval with following schema:
[MWh/h] | interval p_max | 1 010118@00:00 | 2 010118@01:00 | 3 010118@02:00 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AL>GR | 250 | 173 | 28 | 65 |
| GR>AL | 250 | 8 | 10 | 119 |
The exemplary flow Al>GR represents the bilateral commercial flow (exchange) of electricity from the bidding zone AL to GR. Exchanges can be enabled via NTC, CNTC and FBMC capacities.
Net position
net_position.csv specifies the total net position for each bidding zone and hour with following schema:
[MWh/h] | interval p_max | 1 010118@00:00 | 2 010118@01:00 | 3 010118@02:00 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| net_position_al | 1750 | -165 | -18 | 54 |
| net_position_at | 9930 | -604 | -1024 | -880 |
| net_position_ba | 2150 | -456 | -427 | -366 |
The total net position states the sum of all flexible and given commercial flows of a bidding zone. Exports are counted positively and imports negatively of a bidding zone. Positive total net positions state in total exporting bidding zones. Negative total net positions describe in total importing bidding zones. All types of commercial flows through NTC, CNTC and FBMC capacities are considered in the calculation of this net position. The net position for FBMC capacities alone can be looked up in the optional and separate file fbmc_net_position.csv.
Unavailable power
power_unavailable.csv specifies the total non-available power per bidding zone, hour and non-availability type with following schema:
[MWh/h] | interval p_max | 1 010118@00:00 | 2 010118@01:00 | 3 010118@02:00 |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| outages_batteries_sum_al | 864 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| mustruns_batteries_sum_al | 864 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
The total unavailable power includes given revisions, outages and must-runs of thermal power plants, hydro power plants and batteries. It also considers the preprocessing drawing results for revisions and outages. It does not include components that are generating. The values account for time overlaps of events, ensuring they can be added to calculate the total unavailable power.
Spot price
price_spot.csv specifies the electricity spot price per bidding zone and hour with following schema:
[EUR/MWh] | interval mean | 1 010118@00:00 | 2 010118@01:00 | 3 010118@02:00 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| spot_price_al | 46.92 | 39.14 | 39.14 | 44.04 |
| spot_price_at | 42.65 | 9.07 | 8.62 | 6.96 |
| spot_price_ba | 45.82 | 39.07 | 36.72 | 34 |
The spot price is provided as a nominal price in the simulation year. Nominal prices are the future prices of the respective simulation year including inflation. In contrast, real prices are the future prices reflecting today’s price level without inflation. Nominal prices can be discounted to real prices based on an inflation rate (see real vs. nominal value).
The spot price equals the optimal dual variable of the respective load equation in the optimization. If necessary, it can be polished and processed with different methods in the postprocessing of the simulation procedure. The available methods ca be found in the project configuration.
Spot price setting unit
price_spot_setting_unit.csv specifies the spot price setting component for each bidding zone and hour with following schema:
[unit] | interval | 1 010118@00:00 | 2 010118@01:00 | 3 010118@02:00 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| spot_price_setting_al | VLORE | VLORE | VLORE | |
| spot_price_setting_at | ||||
| spot_price_setting_ba | UGLJEVIK1 | UGLJEVIK1 | UGLJEVIK1 |
The entries state the name of the most expensive component (based on work cost) in the price zone of the referred bidding zone. In a bidding zone always the same price applies for in there located market participants. A price zone is a single bidding zone or a group of bidding zones without interconnector capacity congestions so these bidding zones share the same spot price. If no component is set, there is no component running in this price zone.
Remaining generation capacity
remaining_generation_capacity.csv specifies the remaining generation capacity per interval and bidding zone with following schema:
[MW/h] | interval p_max | 1 010118@00:00 | 2 010118@01:00 | 3 010118@02:00 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| thermal_plants_sum_al | 110 | 0 | 0 | 53 |
| hydro_plants_sum_al | 864 | 754 | 754 | 754 |
| batteries_sum_de | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| imports_sum_al | 1600 | 711 | 781 | 846 |
The entries state the remaining generation capacity of thermal power plants, hydro power plants and batteries as well as the remaining import capacity that is secured by remaining generation capacity in other bidding zones. The values take current working points, outages, revisions and must-runs of thermal power plants into account. To avoid double counting, limiting reservoir filling levels including cascading effects are considered for hydro power plants and limiting state of charges of batteries. The stated remaining import capacity considers transits (cascading exchanges) and the remaining available generation power in the exporting bidding zone. The calculation of this values ensures that the remaining available power can be provided in the system to one requesting bidding zone and one hour. If the remaining available power is used in one zone and hour, the other stated values do not apply anymore.
Total negative mFRR provision
reserve_provision_mfrr_negative_total.csv specifies the total negative mFRR reserve provision schedule per interval, component type and bidding zone with following schema:
[MWh/h] | interval p_res_max | 1 010118@00:00 | 2 010118@01:00 | 3 010118@02:00 |

Residual load
residual_load.csv specifies the residual load per interval and bidding zone with following schema:
[MWh/h] | interval | 1 010118@00:00 | 2 010118@01:00 | 3 010118@02:00 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| residual_load_al | 295 | 160 | 40 | |
| residual_load_at | 56 | 254 | -151 | |
| residual_load_ba | 1091 | 1039 | 995 |
Price-taking consumption (load) and inflexible generation by renewable energy sources (RES) do not respond to price signals. The price-inelastic load after RES feed-in is defined as the residual load. The residual load is calculated for every bidding zone separately by adding the price-inelastic load in 10_demands_spot.csv and 98_grid_external_exports.csv and subtracting the price-inelastic feed-in in 40_bioenergy_power_plants.csv, 89_thermal_cogeneration_plants.csv, 50_solar_power_plants.csv, 60_wind_onshore_power_plants.csv, 61_wind_offshore_power_plants.csv, 79_hydro_run_of_river_power_plants.csv and 99_grid_external_imports.csv.
This hourly residual load per bidding zone needs to be fulfilled by all flexible components like demand-side response, hydro power turbines and pumps, thermal power plants as well as imports and exports. If the residual load cannot be fulfilled, its deficit will result in energy not served and its excess in dump energy.
The cost for energy not served can be set in the project configuration via market_slack_cost_load_shedding and the cost for dump energy via market_slack_cost_dump_energy. The values define the penalty costs for violating the load equation in the respective direction.
Congestion rent
social_welfare_congestion_rent.csv specifies the congestion rent for each pair of bidding zones with following schema:
| [Mio.EUR/8760h] | AL | AT | BA |
|---|---|---|---|
| AL | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| AT | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| BA | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Congestion rents represent the sums over time for bilateral spot price spreads multiplied with the commercial flows. The congstion rent of a bilateral flow can be allocated to the two connected bidding zones equal-weighted or weghted on load or generation. The weightening can be set in the project configuration via the parameter postprocessing_social_welfare_congestion_distribution.
Social welfare
social_welfare_total.csv specifies the social welfare comprising the producer surplus, consumer surplus and congestion rent per bidding zone with following schema:
| bidding_zone | social_welfare[Mio.EUR/8760h] | producer_surplus[Mio.EUR/8760h] | consumer_surplus[Mio.EUR/8760h] | congestion_rent[Mio.EUR/8760h] |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AL | 6990.82 | 134.487 | 6838.982 | 3.931 |
| AT | 69138.453 | 459.984 | 67971.478 | 40.57 |
| BA | 12562.007 | 590.805 | 11973.916 | 1.805 |
The producer surplus equals the total revenues minus the total costs of all generators. The consumer surplus is based on the total electricity consumption and the price difference between the willingness to pay and the price. The willingness to pay can be specified in the project configuration. In reality the willingness to pay can be incalculable so that the consumer surplus should not be interpreted in absolute terms, but in difference amounts among scenarios.
