TotalTechnologyAnnual Activity[r,t,y] ---------

Homogeneous precipitation per season is assumed at national level, in units of cubic kilometers per mega hectare (km3/Mha). The data is based on the Regional Climate Model of the Center for Geophysical Research (CIGEFI).

CapacityFactor[r,t,y] ---------

The Capacity Factor is the relationship given between the accumulated precipitation of each season (dry or wet) and the annual amount. This parameter is based on the following equation:

$$Capacity factor = \frac{Accumulated Annual precipitation}{Accumulated precipitation per season}$$
