As highlighted in the comments in PR #222, the final dataframes created by the costs tool has every combination of year_vintage and year_act for technologies. The tool does not take into consideration the lifetime of the technology, so there are projected costs for year where a technology is no longer active.

This doesn't affect the solution in MESSAGE, but it is problematic for a number of reasons:

  • The output dataframes are bloated.
  • It could be confusing for users.

Some possible existing tools/functions that can help address this:

I didn't want to implement this fix in an existing PR, in case it gets too big, so creating this issue to keep track of this as part of my TODO.
