Allow the user to determine the foresight the step models should have.
Currently the foresight in each step is the same length as the step, i.e. with a step length of 5 years, the foresight is five, which means the model covers 10 years.
However, it would be interesting to be able to investigate the effect of different foresight horizons. Considering that many power plants have a life time of approximately 25 years a model horizon of 25 years would be interesting. The step length could be 5 years and the foresight 20.
My suggestion would be to leave the current behaviour of doubling the step length to determine the model length as default, but allow to provide the desired foresight as an additional input.
What do you think @trevorb1?
