Interpolation

[maria]

Hi everyone!

I'm trying to model the evolution of the generation cost over the years.

Is there anyway to introduce the evolution over the years  simplier than create 30 columns in the excel templates with invcost~2008 invcost~2009... I know that the increase is 1% each year. Other times I know the value in 2008 and in  2030.

I know I should do it with TFM_INS tables, but I don't know where to create them and wich attributes should I use.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks a lot!

All costs are interpolated linearly by default. The simplest would be to just provide the 2008 and 2030 values (2 numbers) when the growth rate is uniform.
