Issue https://github.com/remindmodel/development_issues/issues/555
This is an update of the nuclear capacity data, which is fed into REMIND and serves as historical reference and near-term upper bounds. The corresponding REMIND PR to adjust
core/boundsis not ready yet, but of course the two will be merged together.Working on this was a bit confusing, as it seems the file was created and updated by different people over the last 9 years (at least) and some comments/descriptions were not adjusted accordingly. Also, it might be a bit dangerous to mix
CapacityandCapacity Additionswithin one data object with only one variable and trust people read the descriptions. I cleaned up the code and clarified some descriptions, hopefully without adding new misunderstandings. @robertpietzcker please take a look at the result to spot any incorrect approaches or assumptions in the new version.In detail
calcCapacityNuclearWe are now the same place we were with CCS, where we have REMIND input-data and bounds in parallel to near-term thresholds used in the validation tool, both based on the same source but with slightly different factors and methods. I don't think it should be harmonized, but it might be good to keep this in mind if only to avoid double work.
