The question is related to how to define the price of imported energy carriers to a multi regional TIMES model.
In the 7 region Norwegian TIMES model we have defined a IRE_PRICE in the importing processes for each of the 7 regions (not in the IMPEXP region).
I have tried to include the IRE_PRICE's in the IMPEXP region only instead of defining an IRE_PRICE in each region without luck. When I have tried this I get strange results.
In relation to this I have two questions:
1. Is it possible to include the IRE_PRICE's in the IMPEXP region only? If, yes how can I procees?
2. Is there a difference if one uses ACT_COST or IRE_PRICE in the importing processes?
Thanks!
