Translate power capacity to power generation — convert_power_cap_to

Units of generated power are assumed to be sold and hence get priced in the net profit calculations. This also entails converting MWh into MW per year, since we calculate yearly profits. Note: For use in webscripts convert_cap_to_generation() is used currently, which only distinguishes capacity factor by ald_business_unit and scenario_geography, whereas this function distinguishes further by year and scenario. Also note that for generation of variable plan_tech_prod (planned capacity) capacity factors from baseline scenario are used.

Arguments

data: A data frame filtered and wrangled company level production forecasts (of the companies in the portfolio). Usually based on PACTA output.
capacity_factors_power: A data frame containing capacity factors to translate company level power capacity to units sold. Contains information on the ald_business_unit (power sector only) and scenario_geography levels.
baseline_scenario: String holding name of baseline scenario.
target_scenario: String holding name of target scenario.
