Extending the analysis#
The scenarios of the extended paper are one instantiation of the
framework. Everything that defines them, the market segmentation, the aircraft
concepts, the energy production system, and the background scenario ensemble, is
declared in the application layer
(noads.application.base_objects and noads.application.scenario_setup)
and can be changed without touching the core models. This section shows where to
plug in new analyses:
Change the market segmentation: distance bands, seats, ranges, shares of supply, and fleet lifetimes.
Introduce a new propulsion architecture, such as a liquid-methane gas turbine, and let the optimizer decide its deployment.
Add production pathways or primary energy sources, such as geological hydrogen, to the energy mix.
Sweep technology scenarios, sample uncertain parameters, and exploit the JAX speedups for ensemble studies.
