Integrated Planning Model (IPM) Run Files for Supporting Scenarios

Download IPM run files for the scenarios supporting development of the Clean Power Plan proposal using the links in the table below. Click on the IPM run name in the first column of the table below to download a file. The files are posted in one of two formats, a zipped archive or an excel spreadsheet, and contain the following:

More detailed information on the modeling framework, specific scenarios, assumptions, and other important details of the analysis can be found in the Alternative Renewable Energy (RE) Approach TSD, GHG Abatement Measures TSD and Summary of IPM Analysis of Individual Building Blocks for 111(d).

Detailed IPM input and output files (i.e., .DAT, System Summary Report, .RPE, .CAR, and TAC files) for the listed runs. Review the Guide of IPM input and output files.

Supporting Scenario for Alternative Renewable Energy Approach TSD
IPM Run Name	IPM Run Description

Supporting Scenarios for GHG Abatement Measures TSD Chapter 3
IPM Run Name	IPM Run Description
NGCC 65% with Intra-Region Rebalancing (ZIP)(103 MB)	Existing NGCC fleet constrained to operate at an average capacity factor of 65%. Increases in NGCC utilization from base case levels offset 1:1 with a decrease in utilization from existing coal steam, IGCC, or oil/gas steam boilers >25 MW in the same region.
NGCC 70% with Intra-Region Rebalancing (ZIP)(103 MB)	Existing NGCC fleet constrained to operate at an average capacity factor of 70%. Increases in NGCC utilization from base case levels must be offset 1:1 with a decrease in utilization from existing coal steam, IGCC, or oil/gas steam boilers >25 MW in the same region.
NGCC 70% with Intra-State Rebalancing (ZIP)(103 MB)	Existing NGCC fleet constrained to operate at an average capacity factor of 70%. Increases in NGCC utilization from base case levels offset 1:1 with a decrease in utilization from existing coal steam, IGCC, or oil/gas steam boilers >25 MW in the same state.
NGCC 75% with Intra-Region Rebalancing (ZIP)(103 MB)	Existing NGCC fleet constrained to operate at an average capacity factor of 75%. Increases in NGCC utilization from base case levels offset 1:1 with a decrease in utilization from existing coal steam, IGCC, or oil/gas steam boilers >25 MW in the same region.
Re-Dispatch with Coal Cost of $10 per tonne CO2 (ZIP)(103 MB)	$10/tonne CO₂ applied to existing coal steam, IGCC, and oil/gas steam boilers > 25 MW. Decreases in utilization from the affected EGUs offset 1:1 with an increase in utilization from existing NGCC EGUs in the same state.
Re-Dispatch with Coal Cost of $15 per tonne CO2 (ZIP)(103 MB)	$15/tonne CO₂ applied to existing coal steam, IGCC, and oil/gas steam boilers > 25 MW. Decreases in utilization from the affected EGUs offset 1:1 with an increase in utilization from existing NGCC EGUs in the same state.
Re-Dispatch with Coal Cost of $20 per tonne CO2 (ZIP)(103 MB)	$20/tonne CO₂ applied to existing coal steam, IGCC, and oil/gas steam boilers > 25 MW. Decreases in utilization from the affected EGUs offset 1:1 with an increase in utilization from existing NGCC EGUs in the same state.
Re-Dispatch with Coal Cost of $25 per tonne CO2 (ZIP)(103 MB)	$25/tonne CO₂ applied to existing coal steam, IGCC, and oil/gas steam boilers > 25 MW. Decreases in utilization from the affected EGUs offset 1:1 with an increase in utilization from existing NGCC EGUs in the same state.
Re-Dispatch with Coal Cost of $30 per tonne CO2 (ZIP)(114 MB)	$30/tonne CO₂ applied to existing coal steam, IGCC, and oil/gas steam boilers > 25 MW. Decreases in utilization from the affected EGUs offset 1:1 with an increase in utilization from existing NGCC EGUs in the same state.
Re-Dispatch with Coal Cost of $40 per tonne CO2 (ZIP)(114 MB)	$40/tonne CO₂ applied to existing coal steam, IGCC, and oil/gas steam boilers > 25 MW. Decreases in utilization from the affected EGUs offset 1:1 with an increase in utilization from existing NGCC EGUs in the same state.
Re-Dispatch with Coal Cost of $50 per tonne CO2 (ZIP)(115 MB)	$50/tonne CO₂ applied to existing coal steam, IGCC, and oil/gas steam boilers > 25 MW. Decreases in utilization from the affected EGUs offset 1:1 with an increase in utilization from existing NGCC EGUs in the same state.
