**Technology parameters:**

| ID | Label | Unit | Behaviors | Description  |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| CAPEX_OVERNIGHT | CAPEX Overnight | Euro/MW |  | -Overall capital expenditure (only used for pathway optimization) |
| DEINVEST_COST | Deinvest cost | Euro/MW |  | Deinvest cost (only used for pathway optimization) |
| LIFETIME | Lifetime |  |  | Lifetime of the asset (only used for pathway optimization) |
| YIELD_INVEST | Yield of investment | % |  | Yield associated with investment |
| INSTALL_MAX | Max installation | MW | OPTIM_PATHWAY | Max installation (only used for pathway optimization) |
| DECOMM_MAX | Max decommissioning | MW | OPTIM_PATHWAY | Max decommissioning (only used for pathway optimization) |
| CAPEX | CAPEX | Euro/MW/Year |  | Capital expenditure (only used for capacity optimization) |
| FOC | Fixed Operating Costs | Euro/MW/Year |  | Fixed Operating Costs (only used for capacity optimization) |
| PMAX | Pmax | MW | (not OPTIM_PMAX) and (not OPTIM_PATHWAY) | Installed power capacity |
| PMAXMIN | Min Pmax | MW | OPTIM_PMAX or OPTIM_PATHWAY | Installed capacity lower bound for capacity optimization |
| PMAXMAX | Max Pmax | MW | OPTIM_PMAX or OPTIM_PATHWAY | Installed capacity upper bound for capacity optimization |
| PRODUCTION_COST | Production cost | Euro/MW.h |  | Production cost (emission cost excluded) |
| MINIMUM_VOLUME | Minimal target volume | MW.h | VOLUME_TARGET | Minimal export volume over the horizon |
| STORAGE_CAPACITY | Storage capacity | MW.h | VOLUME_TARGET | Storage capacity |
| MIN_PROFILE | Minimal export profile | % | VOLUME_TARGET | Minimal export profile |
| STORAGE_AVAILABILITY | Storage availability | % | VOLUME_TARGET | Storage availability, expressed as a percentage of the installed storage capacity |
|  |

**Model code:**

``` python
stateON = AssetState('ON')
addTargetInVolume(asset, stateON, interfaceName=ENERGY_DELIVERY, isInput=False, maxVolume=STORAGE_CAPACITY,
					  minVolume=MINIMUM_VOLUME, maxProfile=STORAGE_AVAILABILITY, minProfile=MIN_PROFILE)
addEnergyProduction(asset, stateON, ENERGY_DELIVERY, availability = 100)
finalize(stateON)
