  1. A big aluminium company wants to build a factory in Tudo. To deal with the expected rise in load, Tudo needs to invest in new powerplants. The new load profile looks like this:

  2. Investments shall be made into two units: a CCGT power plant and a biomass power plant. Initialize these units withthe following parameter (you have to look at node, unit, unittype, unitUnittype, p_gn, p_gnu_io and p_unit). Use "CCGT powerplant Tudo" and "Biomass powerplant Tudo" as unit names.

  3. These units do not exist yet, therefore set their capacity in p_gnu_io to 0. 
  4. In p_gnu_io, investment costs, fixed operation and maintenance costs and annuities must be added. Take the information from the following table and add them to the two new units in p_gnu_io. You find more information on these parameters in the chapter "Additional information on investments".

    Fixed Operation and Maintenance costs (€/MW/a)

  5. The next adaption necessary to make investments must be made in p_unit: for the new biomass and CCGT powerplants, a maxUnitCount must be defined. Assume, that there is a lot of space to build gas turbines and biomass powerplants. Therefore, set maxUnitCount to inf (infinity). The parameter investMIP determines whether integer investment is used or not. As we want to use integer investment, set investMIP=1 for the new solar and CCGT powerplant.
