Improvement of plots needed

smartie2076 commented 4 years ago

Plots concerning a couple of KPI are added with pull request. However, these can be improved.

Sum up costs of certain categories (which implies integrating the tag "group" to the json and to the oemof components), eg. sum up all costs resulting from the peak demand pricing sinks *The bar chart of "optional additional capacities" should also display the unit of the optimized capacity.
An bar chart/pie chart of the first-time-investment costs (FIC), operational costs (FOM), annuities and present value of costs of each asset (even the ones not optimized) should be generated. Other KPI would also be possible (eg. aggregated generation)
Another graph would be a cash flow projection, which requires generating a matrix with all of those values (aggregated over assets) for the project lifetime (FIC, FOM, replacement costs, revenues).
Make sure that the existing capacities are included in the cost projections! This has to be discussed further, as they would also add ontop of the asset annuities/costs.

Addressed by pull request #42

Following automatic plots are generated (not option for the user to choose at the moment) regarding costs of the project:

Annuities
FIC (I take the value of costs_investment from the cost_matrix in results, hope it is that)
FOM (I have taken the value of costs_om from the cost_matrix in results) In these graphs, all costs related to peak demand components are added together, as specified. Graphs for net present value, replacement costs and revenues are still to be created. Also the cash flow projection

FIC and FOM should be calculated correctly with these values.

Can you attach a graph for each of the plots currently created? If they are rather small, just copy them from your output file in your project here. That will ease communication with newbies.

If you have an idea how to create tests for pytest to make sure your plots work in the future (comp. folder tests/tests.py), please put it on your list to create these tests.

Needed change: Plots for each bus need to be labelled "All energy flows on XY bus", possibly even with (balanced).

@mahendrark I would like to check this together with you - maybe it is something for the plotly dash plots as well.

The cash flow projection proposed at the top is an add-on for the MVS and will be considered if time remains. The other KPIs are integrated.
