January 2026: Delivered three core enhancements in oemof-solph that improve modeling accuracy, performance, and maintainability, while standardizing multi-period investments for reliable decision support. Key outcomes include improved TSAM example with time series aggregation and plotting consistency, centralized investment max values in cost data with signature simplifications, and a multi-period investment feature with standardized annuity/interest handling (0.05) integrated into TSAM workflows. These changes reduce modeling friction, improve solver performance, and enable consistent investment evaluation across scenarios.
