How to treat existing capacity in max invest constraints #71

Open jkiviluo opened 1 year ago

jkiviluo commented 1 year ago

At the moment 'existing' (before model investments) capacity is not counted in constraints that limit maximum capacity. However, maybe they should. Then the name of the invest_max... parameters should be changed to max_capacity... or something like that. But it would probably be the better choice for most modelling cases.
