Rung 53: a transmission_volume_expansion_limit row holds in every scenario under multi_investment_periods

One rung of the PyPSA corpus: the file pypsa.yaml projected onto what this network builds, attached to that network, and held to what PyPSA solves it to.

✔ Verified against pypsa 1.3.0 — objective 15005.0, held to the corpus oracle, because PyPSA 1.3.0 solves this network wrongly (PyPSA/PyPSA#1939); no model is compared.

The model

The same model, as math

A plain n.optimize(), and its multi-period and stochastic classes, in one file. Every second-stage quantity spans a scenario (a future dispatch is chosen in) and every asset stands in the investment periods its build year and lifetime span. A parameter spans scenario exactly when PyPSA reads it per scenario. Capacity is chosen once, before the future is known, and paid once per active period at its cost in expectation over the scenarios; operation is the expectation over the scenarios' weights, with a share priced at the tail through the CVaR rows, which stand only where that share is positive. A plain run feeds one scenario, one period, all-active masks and unit weights, and the model collapses to the standard one. A security-constrained run copies each branch flow limit once per outage in an outage set that a plain run leaves empty. Which snapshots an asset is active in, a scenario's weight, and the outage factors are data prep.

PyPSA reads it per scenario (global_constraints.py:557, :749, :861)
\(\mathrm{len}\) Line_volume_weight over \(\Xi \times \mathcal{L} \times \mathcal{K}\) — the line's length where its carrier is in the row's set, the first scenario's length as PyPSA reads it (global_constraints.py:835-836) — data prep; a line outside it, or one that does not stand in the row's investment_period, has no row

Variables

\(p\) Generator_p over \(\Xi \times \mathcal{T} \times \mathcal{G}\) — Generator-p — output of a generator in a snapshot
\(s\) Line_s over \(\Xi \times \mathcal{T} \times \mathcal{K}\) — Line-s — PyPSA's p0, the flow measured at the Line_bus0 end: a positive value withdraws there and injects at Line_bus1, lossless

The spec, differential/pypsa/rungs/rung_53_scenario_period_volume_limit.yaml — the file projected onto what this rung builds:

description: A plain `n.optimize()`, and its multi-period and stochastic classes, in one file. Every second-stage
  quantity spans a `scenario` (a future dispatch is chosen in) and every asset stands in the investment
  `period`s its build year and lifetime span. A parameter spans `scenario` exactly when PyPSA reads it
  per scenario. Capacity is chosen once, before the future is known, and paid once per active period at
  its cost in expectation over the scenarios; operation is the expectation over the scenarios' weights,
  with a share priced at the tail through the CVaR rows, which stand only where that share is positive.
  A plain run feeds one scenario, one period, all-active masks and unit weights, and the model collapses
  to the standard one. A security-constrained run copies each branch flow limit once per outage in an
  `outage` set that a plain run leaves empty. Which snapshots an asset is active in, a scenario's weight,
  and the outage factors are data prep.
