[LDES-coremodel] Recurring meeting tomorrow

[Kenji Shiraishi]

Thank you, Sarah! Then I will compare capex in annualized form.
Switch uses a 7% discount rate as default. Lifetime of each technology is
- central PV: 20 yrs
- battery: 10 yrs
- CCGT: 20 yrs
- wind: 30 yrs

I will write up a cost comparison tonight.

Best regards,
Kenji
