[attachment=152][attachment=152][attachment=152][attachment=152]I am getting an execution error while running MARKALS. It is showing a division by zero error with a line number specified with it. How do I find the error or locate the line number specified? I am attaching an LST file with this post. Kindly check.
Hi Saika, MARKAL, wow. MARKAL has not been actively supported for more than 20 years. Having said that, such an error usually happens because EFF=0 for come technologies. Perhaps that bit of advice will help you to find those demand devices causing the problem. I would strongly encourage you to have a look at TIMES, the evolutionary successor. to MARKAL. It is a much more robust energy modeling system.
Thankyou so much for the suggestion. I will check for the efficiency. I will recommend TIMES in my office but I wanted to know what is the future of TIMES like for how long can we expect to have active back-end support?

TIMES is here for the long-term. It has been the primary modeling platform for ETSAP since 2000. When you are ready I suggest you request an evaluation system here https://www.kanors-emr.org/AcquiringTools.php.

Me too!
Its still not working for me. Also I wanted to know how can we interpret LISTING and LOG Files. Is there anyone who can guide us ?
Is there anyone around you who has used this model before?

A team who used to work on this model have left. I have a colleague who is using this model since February and I have recently joined.
Have you already consulted your colleague about this error?

Yes I have and we are not able to locate where the error has occured. What does the line number signify associated with division by zero error.
looking into the LST the problem seems to be with the DMD_OUT missing for some DMD or 0. No way to find out the troublemaker for sure without having the model. If you want to ZIP it up I'll did into it a bit deeper.
Thankyou so much. I will check for DMD_OUT Values. I probably won't be able to share the model but I will keep in touch for any other concerns. Thanks again.
