Looks like your questions are related to VEDA and not TIMES as such. Nonetheless, I had a quick look, and I confirm the strangeness of the situation:   • In Browse, the Region panel shows REG1, MINRNW...

Ah... I missed that it was a thermal storage, but that doesn't change my comments. Anyway, I think the amounts look large enough to affect the optimal solution (if the heat has a positive price), and...

Dear demar, as Amit pointed out, I meant to use VDA_EMCB, not COM_BNDNET. For an example, see the following: https://forum.kanors-emr.org/showthread.php?tid=482&pid=6652#pid6652 I hope you can ...

Your problem appears to be a VEDA issue, and not TIMES. I believe the VEDA ~COMEMI table generates TIMES VDA_EMCB attribute instances, but it is possible that VEDA does not support year indexes in COM...

Indeed, it looks pretty good now!  One should now still check for the correctness of the model generated, if not yet checked. And perhaps put some more thought on how to best organize the code.  But ...
