Files appear to be loaded twice

[cfe316]

I'm not sure what's happening yet here, but I think that some of the standard example scripts load files twice.
This happens when I run SmallNewEngland/OneZone example via include("/path/.../Run.jl").
I'm pasting the log below.

That's strange. About to take a look. Thanks for flagging.

[cfe316]

I'm on the Dev branch, commit f721763a.

Okay, this doesn't happen when I run the case second time. Maybe it was due to TimeDomainReduction=1?

[sambuddhac]

I can confirm that the issue is because of the TimeDomainReduction. Please turn it off. It should work just fine.

[sambuddhac]

This is the genX_settings.jl for the Dev branch for SmallNewEngland/OneZone:

OverwriteResults: 0 # Overwrite existing results in output folder or create a new one; 0 = create new folder; 1 = overwrite existing results

EnergyShareRequirement: 1 # Minimum qualifying renewables penetration; 0 = not active; 1 = active systemwide
CapacityReserveMargin: 1 # Number of capacity reserve margin constraints; 0 = not active; 1 = active systemwide
CO2Cap: 2 # CO2 emissions cap; 0 = not active (no CO2 emission limit); 1 = mass-based emission limit constraint; 2 = load + rate-based emission limit constraint; 3 = generation + rate-based emission limit constraint
StorageLosses: 1 # Energy Share Requirement and CO2 constraints account for energy lost; 0 = not active (DO NOT account for energy lost); 1 = active systemwide (DO account for energy lost)
MinCapReq: 1  # Activate minimum technology carveout constraints; 0 = not active; 1 = active

TimeDomainReductionFolder: "TDR_Results" # Directory name where results from time domain reduction will be saved. If results already exist here, these will be used without running time domain reduction script again.
TimeDomainReduction: 1 # Time domain reduce (i.e. cluster) inputs based on Load_data.csv, Generators_variability.csv, and Fuels_data.csv; 0 = not active (use input data as provided); 0 = active (cluster input data, or use data that has already been clustered)
ModelingToGenerateAlternatives: 0 # Modeling to generate alternatives; 0 = not active; 1 = active. Note: produces a single solution as output
ModelingtoGenerateAlternativeSlack: 0.1 # Slack value as a fraction of least-cost objective in budget constraint used for evaluating alternative model solutions; positive float value
ModelingToGenerateAlternativeIterations: 3 # Number of MGA iterations with maximization and minimization objective
MethodofMorris: 0 #Flag for turning on the Method of Morris analysis

Actually you can see that the TimeDomainReduction is still at 1. But, here's the log I get:

I do not get the configuring solver statement. So, I am suspecting if it has anything to do with the solver. Which solver are you using?

[sambuddhac]

This is a futuristic issue. Will be worked upon later.

[sambuddhac]

This happens every time the TDR_Results folder isn't there at the onset and the TDR script executes.

[sambuddhac]

This seems has been fixed
