OSTI ID:5496439

The purpose of this manual is to provide a functional guide for users of the programs in the Coal Supply and Transportation Model (CSTM) system. With the aid of this document, the user should be able to access the Coal Supply and Transportation Model, select appropriate input files, and obtain the desired reports. The manual comprises the following information: an overview of the CSTM system, a description of the CSTM input files, a description of CSTM preprocessing programs and input data, procedures for modifying and updating files, and procedures for running the programs in the system. Appendix A contains an annotated listing of the basic CSTM input data. Sample output reports are provided in Appendix B. The names, addresses, and telephone numbers of personnel to call for assistance are given in this chapter. These references are provided in case problems arise that cannot be resolved using this manual. Basic information on the Energy Information Administration (EIA) computer system and on using SUPERWYLBUR to edit data files and submit runs may be found in the related publications listed in this chapter. The primary purpose of the CSTM is to provide a capability to address forecasting issues relating specifically to coal transportation and supply. The CSTM functions in either of two modes of operation: as a component of the Intermediate Future Forecasting System (IFFS) or as a stand-alone forecasting model.
