Labels for technologies #282

Open jacob-mannhardt opened 1 year ago

jacob-mannhardt commented 1 year ago

Should we add an attribute that classifies a technology as a specific type of technology ("renewable", "conventional", ...)

Prompted by @gapaolo

aganter commented 1 year ago

I like this idea a lot! This could also be nice e.g. to groupby technology types in the Gui later on. What is your opinion @johburger?

johburger commented 1 year ago

It does make sense to me if you can really flexibly specify the groups. And what about carriers? Should we also introduce an optional type for them?

jacob-mannhardt commented 1 year ago

What do we do about those that we don't label? I wouldn't want to force the user to categorize every technology

johburger commented 1 year ago

I would give an empty label to everything that is not labeled. So that it is also backwards compatible to all datasets where no labels are specified at all.

jacob-mannhardt commented 1 year ago

Sounds good.

I would say that is a future task then, though, once we have the front end running.

I don't see the value in the optimization framework itself, do you?
