model.firstcost
First Cost module calculations.
Implementation for the First Cost module.
Arguments
ac = advanced_controls.py object, storing settings to control module operation. pds_learning_increase_mult = multiplicative factor for the PDS learning rate. This is typically 2 or 4. ref_learning_increase_mult = multiplicative factor for the reference solution learning rate. This is typically 2 or 4. conv_learning_increase_mult = multiplicative factor for the Conventional learning rate. This is typically 2 or 4. soln_pds_tot_iunits_reqd: total implementation units required each year in the Project Drawdown scenario, as a DataFrame with columns per region. soln_ref_tot_iunits_reqd: total implementation units required each year in the Reference scenario, as a DataFrame with columns per region. conv_ref_tot_iunits: total implementation units required each year in the Conventional Reference scenario, as a DataFrame with columns per region. soln_pds_new_iunits_reqd: new implementation units required each year in the Project Drawdown scenario, as a DataFrame with columns per region. soln_ref_new_iunits_reqd: new implementation units required each year in the Reference scenario, as a DataFrame with columns per region. conv_ref_new_iunits: new implementation units required each year in the Conventional Reference scenario, as a DataFrame with columns per region. fc_convert_iunit_factor: conversion factor from iunits to a more natural monetary unit. conv_ref_first_cost_uses_tot_units: Many RRS solutions use conv_ref_new_iunits to calculate conv_ref_annual_world_first_cost. Many Land solutions use the new conv_ref_tot_iunits year over year (which are land units, not iunits, in this case).
