Implementing the timeline requires rewriting all the costs and benefits included in the net-benefit equation.
We want the user to be able to specify a start year, end year and a potential intermediate year. With these years the user also specifies clean cooking access.
The start year clean cooking access is read from the tech specs with the is_clean flag. This is already done in the tool and saved in self.clean_cooking_access_u and self.clean_cooking_access_r
The end year will be put as the same as the start year as default. I.e., if the user does not specify an end year the analysis will be ran the same way it was run in the first Africa paper and Nepal.
The end year target will be set to 1 (100% access)
The intermediate data will be put as None i.e., an intermediate year and target will not be used unless explicitly stated.
Between the start year and the other years (end year and potentially an intermediate year) will be linear. We will assume 1 target nationally for each year (so not diversified by urban and rural). This means that most likely rural access rates will increase faster than urban ones. The main results will present the results for the end year and (a potential intermediate year), but each year will be calculated and stored in the main file as they are needed.
This approach requires that we determine who get clean cooking first. This will be done through different approaches. Suggest, travel time, low-cost and high-benefit to start. Let the user decide. For each settlement that switch stove we need to store the year of the switch, this will help us calculate the benefits of remaining cells and reinvestment years per settlement. Assume that the switch happens in the beginning of the year.
