Rung 8: modular and big-M — capacity in whole modules, built or already standing, and a committable unit whose capacity is also built

One rung of the PyPSA corpus: the file pypsa.yaml projected onto what this network builds, attached to that network, and held to what PyPSA solves it to.

✔ Verified against pypsa 1.3.0 — objective 15915.0 on both sides; structure ≠ CVaR 0 vs 1 — the file declares the tail's average on every run; PyPSA adds it only under a risk preference, and without one the objective prices it at zero and no row reads it; CVaR-a 0 vs 1 — the file declares each scenario's excess on every run; PyPSA adds it only under a risk preference, and without one no row reads it; CVaR-theta 0 vs 1 — the file declares the tail's start on every run; PyPSA adds it only under a risk preference, and without one no row reads it; size ✔ 191 rows · ≠ 80 vs 83 columns · ✔ 379 nonzeros; duals — integer model, no duals; model for model: 35 blocks equal, 0 documented splits, 4 recorded deviations.

The model

The same model, as math

A plain n.optimize(), and its multi-period and stochastic classes, in one file. Every second-stage quantity spans a scenario (a future dispatch is chosen in) and every asset stands in the investment periods its build year and lifetime span. A parameter spans scenario exactly when PyPSA reads it per scenario. Capacity is chosen once, before the future is known, and paid once per active period at its cost in expectation over the scenarios; operation is the expectation over the scenarios' weights, with a share priced at the tail through the CVaR rows, which stand only where that share is positive. A plain run feeds one scenario, one period, all-active masks and unit weights, and the model collapses to the standard one. A security-constrained run copies each branch flow limit once per outage in an outage set that a plain run leaves empty. Which snapshots an asset is active in, a scenario's weight, and the outage factors are data prep.

\(\mathrm{ru}\) Generator_ramp_limit_up over \(\Xi \times \mathcal{T} \times \mathcal{G}\) — most a generator may raise its output between snapshots, per unit of nominal power; no value means no limit — read at the later of the two snapshots, so the limit may change over time
\(\mathrm{rd}\) Generator_ramp_limit_down over \(\Xi \times \mathcal{T} \times \mathcal{G}\) — most a generator may lower its output between snapshots, per unit of nominal power; no value means no limit — read at the later of the two snapshots, so the limit may change over time
\(\mathrm{ru}^{\mathrm{up}}\) Generator_ramp_limit_start_up over \(\Xi \times \mathcal{G}\) — most output in the snapshot a unit starts, per unit of nominal power
\(\mathrm{rd}^{\mathrm{dn}}\) Generator_ramp_limit_shut_down over \(\Xi \times \mathcal{G}\) — most output in the snapshot before a unit stops, per unit of nominal power
\(\mathrm{u}^{0}\) Generator_status_initial over \(\Xi \times \mathcal{G}\) — one where the unit was on before the first snapshot, zero where off — PyPSA's up_time_before > 0, data prep
\(\mathrm{p}^{0}\) Generator_p_init over \(\Xi \times \mathcal{G}\) — the output a unit brought into the horizon — PyPSA's p_init, read only where the unit came in running; no value means it is unknown, so the unit carries no ramp row at the first snapshot
\(\mathrm{c}^{\mathrm{up}}\) Generator_start_up_cost over \(\Xi \times \mathcal{G}\) — cost of one start

\(\eta\) Link_efficiency over \(\Xi \times \mathcal{T} \times \mathcal{O}\) — share of the flow that arrives at an output port, PyPSA's efficiency, efficiency2, … read long — negative where that port consumes rather than delivers. Read at the snapshot the flow arrives, so a delayed port delivers at its arrival snapshot's efficiency (constraints.py:1522)

\(\mathrm{cyc}^{f}\) Link_output_cyclic_delay over \(\Xi \times \mathcal{O}\) — whether a delayed port's flow wraps from the end of its investment period — PyPSA's cyclic_delay, cyclic_delay2, …; where it does not, the flow still in transit at each period's first snapshots is lost.

\(\mathrm{on}^{\mathrm{load}}\) Load_active over \(\mathcal{D}\) — whether a load stands in the model — PyPSA's active. A load has no build year and no lifetime, so the flag holds in every snapshot. PyPSA refuses one that differs by scenario (consistency.py:1195)

\(\omega\) CVaR_omega (scalar) — PyPSA's risk_preference['omega'] — the share of operating cost priced at the tail rather than in expectation; zero recovers the risk-neutral model

\(f\) Link_p over \(\Xi \times \mathcal{T} \times \mathcal{L}\) — Link-p — PyPSA's p0, the flow measured at the Link_bus0 end: a positive value withdraws there and injects at every bus the link's output ports deliver to

\(u\) Generator_status over \(\Xi \times \mathcal{T} \times \mathcal{G}\) — Generator-status — how much of a committable unit is on: an integer the rows below cap at one, or at the module count where the build is modular

\(a\) CVaR_a over \(\Xi\) — CVaR-a — how far a scenario's operating cost exceeds the tail's start; nothing where it does not
\(\theta\) CVaR_theta (scalar) — CVaR-theta — where the tail starts, the value at risk
\(CVaR\) CVaR (scalar) — CVaR — the tail's average cost, what the objective prices at omega

Definitions

Symbol Meaning
\(\mathit{Generator\_previous\_status}\) Generator_previous_status over \(\Xi \times \mathcal{T} \times \mathcal{G}\) — the commitment state a generator carries into a snapshot — the state it brought into the horizon at the first, the previous snapshot's after that
\(\mathit{Generator\_previous\_p}\) Generator_previous_p over \(\Xi \times \mathcal{T} \times \mathcal{G}\) — the output a generator carries into a snapshot — at the first, the p_init it brought in where it came in running and nothing where it came in off; the previous snapshot's after that
\(\mathrm{Generator\_ramp\_up\_rate}\) Generator_ramp_up_rate over \(\Xi \times \mathcal{T} \times \mathcal{G}\) — the ramp limit a unit's up row reads — PyPSA's ramp_limit_up, or the full build where it has none, since a start-up ramp alone builds the row
\(\mathrm{Generator\_ramp\_down\_rate}\) Generator_ramp_down_rate over \(\Xi \times \mathcal{T} \times \mathcal{G}\) — the ramp limit a unit's down row reads — PyPSA's ramp_limit_down, or the full build where it has none, since a shut-down ramp alone builds the row
\(\mathrm{Generator\_start\_up\_rate}\) Generator_start_up_rate over \(\Xi \times \mathcal{G}\) — the start-up ramp a unit's up row reads — PyPSA's ramp_limit_start_up, or the full build where it has none
\(\mathrm{Generator\_shut\_down\_rate}\) Generator_shut_down_rate over \(\Xi \times \mathcal{G}\) — the shut-down ramp a unit's down row reads — PyPSA's ramp_limit_shut_down, or the full build where it has none
\(\mathit{total\_cost}\) total_cost (scalar) — what the system costs — capacity once per active period at its expected cost over the scenarios, operation in expectation over the scenarios, and a share of it at the tail
\(\mathit{Bus\_injection}\) Bus_injection over \(\Xi \times \mathcal{T} \times \mathcal{N}\) — what every component puts into a bus, less what it takes out of it; PyPSA writes each term into the balance, and a load on its right-hand side
\(\mathit{Generator\_capex}\) Generator_capex (scalar)
\(\mathit{risk\_weighted\_opex}\) risk_weighted_opex (scalar)
\(\mathit{Generator\_injection}\) Generator_injection over \(\Xi \times \mathcal{T} \times \mathcal{N}\)
\(\mathit{Link\_injection}\) Link_injection over \(\Xi \times \mathcal{T} \times \mathcal{N}\)
\(\mathrm{Load\_injection}\) Load_injection over \(\Xi \times \mathcal{T} \times \mathcal{N}\)
\(\mathit{Link\_output\_arrival}\) Link_output_arrival over \(\Xi \times \mathcal{T} \times \mathcal{O}\) — what a link delivers to an output port at a snapshot — its flow delayed by the port's delay within its investment period, times the port's efficiency at the snapshot the flow arrives; where the port is cyclic_delay the delayed flow wraps from the period's end, and where it is not the flow still in transit at the period's first snapshots is lost. A port that does not delay (delay zero) delivers its flow unshifted, cyclic or not
\(\mathit{scenario\_opex}\) scenario_opex over \(\Xi\) — what a future costs to run — every operating term, weighted by the snapshot's hours and its period, before the scenario's own weight; a start and a stop cost what they cost, unweighted, as PyPSA adds them (optimize.py:414-429)
\(\mathrm{Load\_demand}\) Load_demand over \(\Xi \times \mathcal{T} \times \mathcal{D}\) — what a load draws from its bus's balance — its demand times its sign where it is active, nothing where it is not, since PyPSA drops an inactive load from the balance (constraints.py:1537-1538)
\(\mathit{Generator\_opex}\) Generator_opex over \(\Xi\)
\(\mathit{Generator\_commitment\_opex}\) Generator_commitment_opex over \(\Xi\)
\(\mathit{Link\_opex}\) Link_opex over \(\Xi\)

\(t \ominus k\) denotes cyclic translation: index \(t-k\) taken modulo the size of the dimension (roll). Plain \(t-k\) (shift) has no wraparound — terms translated past the edge are simply absent.

\(t \boxminus_{v} k\) denotes translation with \(v\) standing where index \(t-k\) leaves the dimension (shift(edge=v)), so the row at that boundary is built and carries \(v\) rather than being dropped.

\(t \ominus^{\mathrm{relation}(t)} k\) denotes a translation counted inside the group a relation puts \(t\) in (shift(by=relation)), so a term never crosses out of its own group. The two modifiers take different slots — the group above, the fill below — so \(t \boxminus_{v}^{\mathrm{relation}(t)} k\) is both at once.

\(\mathrm{pos}(t)\) denotes where index \(t\) sits along its dimension's own order — the order shift steps along, not the order labels sort in — counted from \(0\). The index itself stays the coordinate, so \(t\) compares against labels and \(\mathrm{pos}(t)\) against positions.

\(\mathrm{pos}_{\mathrm{relation}(t)}(t)\) counts within the group a relation puts \(t\) in: the subscript names the map, \(\mathcal{T}_{\mathrm{relation}(t)}\) is the group it lands in, and that group has a first position of its own.

The spec, differential/pypsa/rungs/rung_08_modular_big_m.yaml — the file projected onto what this rung builds:

description: A plain `n.optimize()`, and its multi-period and stochastic classes, in one file. Every second-stage
  quantity spans a `scenario` (a future dispatch is chosen in) and every asset stands in the investment
  `period`s its build year and lifetime span. A parameter spans `scenario` exactly when PyPSA reads it
  per scenario. Capacity is chosen once, before the future is known, and paid once per active period at
  its cost in expectation over the scenarios; operation is the expectation over the scenarios' weights,
  with a share priced at the tail through the CVaR rows, which stand only where that share is positive.
  A plain run feeds one scenario, one period, all-active masks and unit weights, and the model collapses
  to the standard one. A security-constrained run copies each branch flow limit once per outage in an
  `outage` set that a plain run leaves empty. Which snapshots an asset is active in, a scenario's weight,
  and the outage factors are data prep.
