Updated IAM scenarios and IMAGE battery-electric freight
This release updates premise’s default IAM scenario archive, adds battery-electric freight trucks to IMAGE scenarios, and improves uncertainty handling for Swiss hydropower inventories.
Highlights
- Updated the IAM scenario download source to [Zenodo record 21790981 (https://zenodo.org/records/21790981).
- Added IMAGE mappings for:
- 18 t medium-duty battery-electric trucks.
- 40 t heavy-duty battery-electric trucks.
- Their corresponding energy-service and electricity final-energy
variables.
- Added transparent support for IMAGE’s underscore-based archive filenames. Existing premise pathway names remain unchanged:
SSP2-VLHOcontinues to be the public pathway name.image_SSP2_VLHO.csvis resolved automatically in the Zenodo
archive.
- Local IMAGE scenario files are now recognized with either hyphens or underscores.
- Corrected Swiss reservoir-hydropower water exchanges so retained lognormal uncertainty distributions are rescaled together with their amounts.
- Added deterministic handling for corrected hydropower exchanges whose original amount was zero.
- Added regression coverage for scenario downloading, filename compatibility, IMAGE BEV truck mappings, and hydropower uncertainty handling.
