When analysing the results of a RES-expansion optimisation, I ran into the following issue:
the investment results delivered 0 installed capacity, but the produced energy flow delivers some value. I later found out that this flow is equal to the specified "actual_value" for the investment calculation. Further, I also checked the results for other components with investment>0 and found out those flow results are also wrong, as they were not equal to investment * actual_value. The difference again was the actual_value, so:
it seems that flow results for RES investment object are calculated: flow = investment * actual_value + actual_value
instead of flow = investment * actual_value
I did not take a look into the code so far. Is this only an issue with the results or does this also affect the optimization model? Currently I am working with oemof 2.2.3, I have not tested this with oemof 3.1
