With the incoming PV-T+etc. additions, the need for multivariable optimisation is becoming apparent. For example, minimising the LCOW may result in a system that favours a certain type of technology, such as PV-T or PV-D, but to the detriment of the LCOE. Having an optimisation across multiple variables would avoid this potential issue.
This would be an enhancement to CLOVER.
