Future possible extensions (new features)

[datejada]

These are some ideas of future possible extensions (new features) we can have in the model that are not yet in our current pipeline, depending on the users' needs:

• Include other objective functions like maximising revenues given a set of electricity prices.
  • Multi-objective (include societal benefit, land use, etc)
• Add one-way or two-way contracts for difference (CfDs) for an asset's bidding to determine the asset's revenues in the model.
• Add Flow-based market coupling (FBMC) feature using PTDFs (useful for EU runs).
• Consider HVDC cables in the formulation of the DC-OPF.
• Negative electricity prices (if not already in the pipeline)
• Export of final problem (obj, vars, consts) for user to check/view - relevant once multi-detail & optional constraints
• Run model unattended on a server/cluster
• Rough estimate of run-time before you run (mins, hours, days) - I think this is nicer/simpler than a progress bar - maybe we can get a feel for this based on the features selected (ramping, clustering, etc) and problem size? Then as people use Tulipa we could get feedback and adjust our estimate? 8D
