)

Core function for introducing constraints on the investments. The constraints include introducing bounds on the available capacities as well as the calculation of the CAPEX.

The function calls two additional subroutines, set_capacity_installation and set_capacity_cost which are used for introducing bounds on the investment variables and calculating the CAPEX contribution of each investments. The utilization of subroutines allows the introduction of dispatch for the individual investment and lifetime options.

Arguments

• m: the JuMP model instance.
• element: the element for which investment constraints should be added. Any potential element can be used. In EnergyModelsBase, the individual element is either a Node or a TransmissionMode.
• inv_data::AbstractInvData: the investment data for the node and capacity cap.
• prefix: the prefix used for variables for this element. This argument is used for extracting the individual investment variables.
• cap: the field that is used if several capacities are provided.
• 𝒯ᴵⁿᵛ::TS.AbstractStratPers: the strategic periods structure. It can be created from both a TwoLevel or TwoLevelTree structure.
• disc_rate: the discount rate used in the lifetime calculation for reinvestment and end of life calculations.

set_capacity_installation(m, element, prefix, 𝒯ᴵⁿᵛ, inv_data, inv_mode)

Add constraints related to upper and lower bounds for investments depending on investment mode of type element.

These constraints differ dependent on the chosen Investment:

• Investment results in provding a lower and upper bound to the variable var_add through the functions min_add and max_add. This approach is the default approach for all investment modes.
• BinaryInvestment results in setting the variable var_invest_b as binary variable. Furthermore, the variable var_current is only able to be 0 or a provided value through the function invest_capacity.
• DiscreteInvestment results in setting the variables var_invest_b and var_remove_bas positive integer variables. Furthermore, the variable var_current is only able to be equal to a multiple of a provided value through the function increment.
• SemiContiInvestment results in setting the variable var_invest_b as binary variable. Furthermore, the variable var_add is bound through the functions min_add and max_add or 0.
• FixedInvestment results in setting the variable var_invest_b as binary variable. Furthermore, the variable var_current is fixed to a provided value through the function invest_capacity. This allows to incorporate the cost for the correct value of the objective function.

set_capacity_cost(m, element, inv_data, prefix, 𝒯ᴵⁿᵛ, disc_rate)

Function for creating constraints for the variable var_capex dependent on the chosen Investment and LifetimeMode.

The lifetime calculations are located within this function while the corresponding undiscounted CAPEX values are calculated in the function set_capex_value, depending on the chosen investment mode.

It implements different versions of the lifetime implementation:

• UnlimitedLife results in an unlimited investment. The investment costs do not consider any reinvestment or rest value.
• StudyLife results in the investment lasting for the whole study period with adequate reinvestments at end of lifetime and rest value.
• PeriodLife results in the investment lasting only for the investment period, independent of the duration of the investment period. The excess lifetime is considered in the calculation of the rest value.
• RollingLife results in the investment rolling to the next strategic periods. A capacity is retired at the end of its lifetime or the end of the previous strategic period if its lifetime ends between two strategic periods.

set_capex_value(m, element, inv_data, prefix, 𝒯ᴵⁿᵛ)

Calculate the cost value for the different investment modes of the investment data inv_data for element element.

Arguments

• 𝒯ᴵⁿᵛ: the strategic periods structure.

set_capex_value(m, element, inv_data, prefix, 𝒯ᴵⁿᵛ, ::Investment)
