Reproduce the RES (model.bare)

In contrast to model.create, this module creates the RES ‘from scratch’. create_res() begins by creating a new, totally empty Scenario and adding data to it (instead of cloning and modifying an existing scenario).

Note

Currently, the Scenario returned by create_res()…

• is not complete, nor the official/preferred version of MESSAGEix-GLOBIOM, and as such must not be used for actual research,

• however, it should be used for creating unit tests of other code that is designed to operate on MESSAGEix-GLOBIOM scenarios; code that works against the bare RES should also work against MESSAGEix-GLOBIOM scenarios.

bare.get_spec() can also be used directly, to get a description of the RES based on certain settings/options, but without any need to connect to a database, load an existing Scenario, or call bare.create_res(). This can be useful in code that processes data into a form compatible with MESSAGEix-GLOBIOM.
