Summary of Changes
1. core.py - Added 'vintage' to FlowSystemDimensions
- Updated FlowSystemDimensions type to include 'vintage'
2. types.py - Added vintage type aliases
- Numeric_VS - Vintage, Scenario dimensions
- Numeric_PVS - Period, Vintage, Scenario dimensions
- Numeric_TPVS - Time, Period, Vintage, Scenario dimensions
- Bool_VS, Bool_PVS - Boolean variants
- Effect_VS, Effect_PVS - Effect dict variants
3. flow_system.py - Added vintages and vintage_weights
- vintages property derived from periods (same values, different name)
- vintage_weights defaults to 1.0 for all vintages (one-time costs not scaled)
- all_coords property that includes vintage
4. structure.py - Added vintage_weights property
- vintage_weights property on FlowSystemModel
- Updated get_coords to work with vintage dimension when explicitly requested
5. effects.py - Major updates
- Added vintage parameters: vintage_weights, share_from_vintage, minimum_vintage, maximum_vintage, minimum_over_vintages, maximum_over_vintages,
minimum_overall, maximum_overall
- Added minimum_total/maximum_total for per-period total bounds
- Added vintage ShareAllocationModel (only when periods are defined)
- Updated objective function to weight temporal/periodic and vintage separately
- Added vintage target to add_share_to_effects
- Added vintage cross-effect shares in _add_share_between_effects
- Kept total variable for backwards compatibility (temporal + periodic only)
The remaining tasks (SizingParameters and InvestmentParameters) are separate from the vintage dimension work and would require further
implementation to split the current InvestParameters into distinct sizing vs investment classes with the active matrix logic.

- investment economics including fixed costs, scale effects, and divestment penalties.
+ This class models sizing decisions in optimization problems, supporting
+ both binary (yes/no) and continuous sizing choices with comprehensive cost structures.
- Investment Decision Types:
- **Binary Investments**: Fixed size investments creating yes/no decisions
- (e.g., install a specific generator, build a particular facility)
+ Sizing Decision Types:
+ **Binary Sizing**: Fixed size creating yes/no decisions
+ (e.g., install a 100 kW system or not)
- **Continuous Sizing**: Variable size investments with minimum/maximum bounds
- (e.g., battery capacity from 10-1000 kWh, pipeline diameter optimization)
+ **Continuous Sizing**: Variable size with minimum/maximum bounds
+ (e.g., battery capacity from 10-1000 kWh)
Cost Modeling Approaches:
- - **Fixed Effects**: One-time costs independent of size (permits, connections)
- - **Specific Effects**: Linear costs proportional to size (€/kW, €/m²)
- - **Piecewise Effects**: Non-linear relationships (bulk discounts, learning curves)
- - **Divestment Effects**: Penalties for not investing (demolition, opportunity costs)
+ - **Fixed Effects**: Costs independent of size (permits, connections)

Args:
fixed_size: Creates binary decision at this exact size. None allows continuous sizing.
minimum_size: Lower bound for continuous sizing. Default: CONFIG.Modeling.epsilon.
- Ignored if fixed_size is specified.
maximum_size: Upper bound for continuous sizing. Default: CONFIG.Modeling.big.
- Ignored if fixed_size is specified.
- mandatory: Controls whether investment is required. When True, forces investment
- to occur (useful for mandatory upgrades or replacement decisions).
- When False (default), optimization can choose not to invest.
- With multiple periods, at least one period has to have an investment.
- effects_of_investment: Fixed costs if investment is made, regardless of size.
+ mandatory: Controls whether sizing is required. When True, forces capacity > 0.
+ effects_of_size: Fixed costs if capacity is available, regardless of size.
Dict: {'effect_name': value} (e.g., {'cost': 10000}).
- effects_of_investment_per_size: Variable costs proportional to size (per-unit costs).
+ effects_per_size: Variable costs proportional to size (per-unit costs).
Dict: {'effect_name': value/unit} (e.g., {'cost': 1200}).
- piecewise_effects_of_investment: Non-linear costs using PiecewiseEffects.
- Combinable with effects_of_investment and effects_of_investment_per_size.
- effects_of_retirement: Costs incurred if NOT investing (demolition, penalties).
- Dict: {'effect_name': value}.
- linked_periods: Describes which periods are linked. 1 means linked, 0 means size=0. None means no linked periods.
- For convenience, pass a tuple containing the first and last period (2025, 2039), linking them and those in between
-
- Cost Annualization Requirements:
- All cost values must be properly weighted to match the optimization model's time horizon.
- For long-term investments, the cost values should be annualized to the corresponding operation time (annuity).
-
- - Use equivalent annual cost (capital cost / equipment lifetime)
- - Apply appropriate discount rates for present value optimizations
- - Account for inflation, escalation, and financing costs
-
- Example: €1M equipment with 20-year life → €50k/year fixed cost

+# InvestmentParameters
+
+InvestmentParameters extend [SizingParameters](SizingParameters.md) to model WHEN to invest, not just how much.
+
+!!! info "Relationship to SizingParameters"
+ - **SizingParameters**: Determines capacity size (how much to build)
+ - **InvestmentParameters**: Adds timing decisions (when to invest) with fixed lifetime
+
+## Key Concept: Investment Timing
+
+InvestmentParameters tracks:
+
+1. **When** the investment occurs (at most once)
+2. **How long** the investment is active (fixed lifetime)
+3. **When** decommissioning occurs (lifetime periods after investment)
+
+$$
+\sum_{p} x^{invest}_p \leq 1 \quad \text{(invest at most once)}
+$$
+
+$$
+x^{active}_p = 1 \iff \exists p' \leq p : x^{invest}_{p'} = 1 \land p - p' < L
+$$
+
+where $L$ is the lifetime in periods.
+
+---
+
+## Basic Usage
+
+```python
+solar_timing = fx.InvestmentParameters(
+ lifetime=10, # Investment lasts 10 periods
+ minimum_size=50,
+ maximum_size=200,
+ effects_of_size={'costs': 15000},
+ effects_per_size={'costs': 1200},
+)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Timing Controls
+
+=== "Allow Investment"
+
+ Restrict when investment can occur:
+
+ ```python
+ import xarray as xr
+
+ fx.InvestmentParameters(
+ lifetime=10,
+ allow_investment=xr.DataArray(
+ [1, 1, 1, 0, 0], # Only allow in first 3 periods
+ coords=[('period', [2020, 2025, 2030, 2035, 2040])],
+ ),
+ )
+ ```
+
+=== "Force Investment"
+
+ Force investment in a specific period:
+
+ ```python
+ fx.InvestmentParameters(
+ lifetime=10,
+ force_investment=xr.DataArray(
+ [0, 0, 1, 0, 0], # Force in 2030
+ coords=[('period', [2020, 2025, 2030, 2035, 2040])],
+ ),
+ )
+ ```
+
+=== "Previous Lifetime"
+
+ Model existing capacity from before the optimization horizon:
+
+ ```python
+ fx.InvestmentParameters(
+ lifetime=10,
+ previous_lifetime=3, # 3 periods of lifetime remaining
+ )
+ ```
+
+---
+
+## Investment-Period Effects
+
+Effects that depend on WHEN the investment is made (technology learning curves, time-varying subsidies):
+
+=== "Fixed by Investment Period"
+
+ Effects that vary by investment timing:
+
+ ```python
+ # Cost decreases over time (learning curve)
+ fx.InvestmentParameters(
+ lifetime=10,
+ effects_of_investment={
+ 'costs': xr.DataArray(
+ [50000, 45000, 40000, 35000, 30000],
+ coords=[('period', [2020, 2025, 2030, 2035, 2040])],
+ )
+ },
+ )
+ ```
+
+=== "Per-Size by Investment Period"
+
+ Size-dependent effects that vary by investment timing:
+
+ ```python
+ # Cost per kW decreases (technology improvement)
+ fx.InvestmentParameters(
+ lifetime=10,
+ effects_of_investment_per_size={
+ 'costs': xr.DataArray(
+ [1500, 1200, 1000, 900, 800], # €/kW over time
+ coords=[('period', [2020, 2025, 2030, 2035, 2040])],
+ )
+ },
+ )
+ ```
+

+
+| Variable | Description |
+|----------|-------------|
+| `size` | Capacity size |
+| `invested` | Binary: is investment currently active? |
+| `investment_occurs` | Binary: does investment happen this period? |
+| `decommissioning_occurs` | Binary: does decommissioning happen this period? |
+| `size_increase` | Size increase when investing |
+| `size_decrease` | Size decrease when decommissioning |
+
+---
+
+## Reference
+
+| Symbol | Type | Description |
+|--------|------|-------------|
+| $P$ | $\mathbb{R}_{\geq 0}$ | Investment size (capacity) |
+| $x^{invest}_p$ | $\{0, 1\}$ | Investment occurs in period $p$ |
+| $x^{decom}_p$ | $\{0, 1\}$ | Decommissioning occurs in period $p$ |
+| $x^{active}_p$ | $\{0, 1\}$ | Investment is active in period $p$ |

+# SizingParameters
+
+SizingParameters make capacity a decision variable — should we build this? How big?
+
+!!! note "Naming Change"
+ `SizingParameters` replaces the deprecated `InvestParameters`.
+ For investment timing with fixed lifetime (when to invest), see [InvestmentParameters](InvestmentParameters.md).
+
+## Basic: Size as Variable
+
+$$
+P^{min} \leq P \leq P^{max}
+$$
+
+```python
+battery = fx.Storage(
+ ...,
+ capacity_in_flow_hours=fx.SizingParameters(
+ minimum_size=10,
+ maximum_size=1000,
+ effects_per_size={'costs': 600}, # €600/kWh
+ ),
+)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Sizing Modes
+
+By default, sizing is **optional** — the optimizer can choose $P = 0$ (don't build).
+
+=== "Continuous"
+
+ Choose size within range (or zero):
+

Subject: [PATCH 7/7] _track_lifetime() method in InvestmentModel had complex
coordinate handling that needed clarification and test coverage.
Changes Made
1. Simplified _track_lifetime() logic (flixopt/features.py:287-336):
- Rewrote from vectorized xarray operations to explicit for-loop logic
- Added comprehensive docstring with examples
- Made the investment-to-decommissioning mapping explicit and readable
2. Fixed _SizeParameters isinstance checks:
- Updated elements.py to use _SizeParameters base class for all size parameter checks
- Updated components.py similarly
- This ensures InvestmentParameters is properly recognized alongside SizingParameters and deprecated InvestParameters
3. Added differentiated model selection:
- _create_investment_model() now selects:
- InvestmentModel for InvestmentParameters (with lifetime tracking)
- SizingModel for SizingParameters or deprecated InvestParameters
4. Fixed parameter name: Changed previous_level to initial_level in BoundingPatterns.link_changes_to_level_with_binaries() call
5. Added test coverage (tests/test_functional.py:736-831):
- New test_investment_parameters_with_lifetime test
- Tests multi-period optimization with InvestmentParameters
- Verifies investment_occurs and decommissioning_occurs variables exist
- Validates investment occurs at most once
