Parameter Scoping

Parameter scoping is how the value of parameter affects other scenarios within the model. There are three levels of scope:

  • Model Level - Any change in parameter configuration (such as numeric change, asset parameter selection change etc) or value affects all scenarios in the model.
  • Study Level - Any change to the parameter affects all the scenarios in the current study. Scenarios in different studies are not affected.
  • Scenario Level - Any change to the parameter affects only the current scenario.

Parameter Rows Parameter Rows

As you can see in the image above, there are two parameters at the model level, and one at the scenario level. Changing Parameter - 1 from 5 to another value in the top row means that value is applied to every scenario. Parameter is set at the scenario level, where each value is different across each scenario.
