5. Investment ModeΒΆ
The application is implemented as a linear program and can be used on the one hand as a pure dispatch model and on the other hand for investment planning (how much capacities to install) to cover a load profile with the minimum costs.
Note
If you enable this toggle button, it is important to specify the heat producers and heat storages by marking them (hold CTRL and left mouse click to select the desired generators and storages) for which an investment model should run.
If you are in scenario mode, all technologies and storage that are defined are used for capacity extension.
If predefined capacities are available, this is the minimum value. This means that no installed capacities can be reduced, only an expansion is possible.
