I expect that the FO&M costs are rather standard to optimization problems. Currently, the FOM costs are only enforced for existing power plants, i.e. number_of_units, but not for invested units.
Moreover, we're currently using the units_on_variable, in order to being able to sum up the the FOM costs. I think we should rather require the user to enter the FOM costs in €/year and scale this within the constraint to the duration of the optimization window (e.g. automate 5year optimization window -> *5, 1week optimization window -> *7/365).
