Conversion technology step¶

There are two ways to add conversion technology candidates to your scenario: Add from Database and Create Custom. For more information, see Conversion technologies.

Add from Database¶

In the dialog that appears, follow these steps:

1. Select the database to load your data from. In most cases, the options are:
2. Sympheny Global database
3. Organization database (linked to your organization)
4. My User database (linked to your personal account)
5. Choose a technology category.
6. Select the specific technology you want to load into your scenario. Clicking a technology displays a summary of its key parameters (see figure below).

1. Click Select. A window opens where you can view and further edit the technology model, with parameters from the database pre-filled into the corresponding fields.
2. Assign the technology to one or more hubs and stages in the Optimization Options section. This defines where and when the technology can be installed. Click Add at the bottom of the dialog to add the technology candidate to your scenario — it appears in the energy hub diagram at the bottom of the page.

Create Custom¶

Clicking Create Custom opens a dialog where you assign parameters for the specific technology. It's the same window as step 4 of Add from Database, but the fields aren't pre-filled with any values.
