Stacked on #772 — review that one first; this PR's diff is only the last commit.

Why

fix_sizes() carries the sizes over as constants. That is right for a pure dispatch run, but it is brittle in the aggregate→full-resolution workflow: if the true peak is higher than the aggregated sizing run saw, the fixed size cannot serve it and stage 2 is simply infeasible.

stage 1 (peak 90) invested [0, 1] size [0, 90]
stage 2 (peak 140) fix_sizes() -> infeasible
fix_invest_decisions() -> size [0, 140], objective 400

Often what you actually want to carry over is the combinatorics — which assets get built — while letting the continuous part re-optimize against the finer data.

What

transform.fix_invest_decisions(decisions=None), the counterpart to fix_sizes():

  • built → the investment becomes mandatory, the size stays a decision variable between minimum_size and maximum_size.
  • not built → the size is capped at 0, which also rules the investment out, so its fixed effects_of_investment are not charged.

Both halves fall straight out of the primitives added in #772 (mandatory per period/scenario, and invested ≤ (max_or_fixed_size ≠ 0)) — no new modelling machinery:

invest_parameters.mandatory=builtinvest_parameters.maximum_size=xr.where(built, invest_parameters.maximum_size, 0)

Also in this PR:

  • statistics.invested — the investment decisions as a Dataset, mirroring statistics.sizes. VariableCategory.INVESTED already existed but had no accessor; this is what fix_invest_decisions() reads by default.
  • The flow/storage-capacity element lookup shared with fix_sizes() moved into _invest_parameters_of() instead of being duplicated.

The one trap

An investment that was mandatory in the sizing run has no invested binary, so it never appears in statistics.invested. A missing entry therefore means "leave it alone", never "not built" — otherwise a mandatory investment would be silently capped at size 0 and the model left infeasible. Covered by its own test.

Tests

  • test_fix_invest_decisions_keeps_sizes_free — decision [0, 1] carried over, size re-optimized 90 → 140, objective 400.
  • test_fix_invest_decisions_leaves_mandatory_elements_untouched — asserts a mandatory element is absent from statistics.invested and still sized freely afterwards.
  • test_fix_sizes_and_decisions_reach_storage_capacity / test_fix_invest_decisions_forbids_unbuilt_storage — storage coverage for both transforms.

Storage coverage

Flow.size and Storage.capacity_in_flow_hours are the only two attributes that can hold InvestParameters. Both transforms handle both, built and not built — verified and now tested, since nothing in the suite exercised the storage path and this PR replaces the old component.label scan with a dict lookup:

fix_sizesfix_invest_decisions
storage built (cap 30)fixed_size=30, mandatory=1 → 30, obj 95mandatory=1, max=100 → resized to 30, obj 95
storage not builtfixed_size=0 → 0, obj 1200max=0 → 0, obj 1200

tests/test_math green (407 passed); full suite running.

Docs

Two-stage section in docs/user-guide/results/index.md gains a tip contrasting the two methods, and the notebooks index lists the new method.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change exposes investment decisions through statistics and adds fix_invest_decisions() to preserve build decisions while allowing sizes to be re-optimized. It refactors investment-parameter lookup, adds regression tests, and updates documentation.

Changes

Investment decision transformation

Layer / File(s)Summary
Investment decision statistics
flixopt/statistics_accessor.py
StatisticsAccessor now lazily builds and caches an invested dataset from INVESTED solution variables.
Decision transformation
flixopt/transform_accessor.py
fix_sizes() uses keyed investment-parameter lookup. New fix_invest_decisions() fixes built decisions, caps unbuilt sizes at zero, and leaves sizes free when built.
Validation and documentation
tests/test_math/test_multi_period.py, docs/notebooks/index.md, docs/user-guide/results/index.md
Tests cover storage, multi-period, unbuilt, and mandatory investments. Documentation describes the new transformation method and its usage.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk:🔵 Low · up to 6327f

For systems containing only mandatory investments, the new transformation can return prior-stage results rather than an unsolved system, risking incorrect downstream use until the returned system is reset.

fix_sizes() carries the sizes over as constants, so the dispatch stage cannot
react when the full resolution has a higher peak than the aggregated sizing run
- it simply becomes infeasible.
fix_invest_decisions() carries over only what gets built and leaves the sizes
free: where an element was built the investment becomes mandatory and the size
stays a decision variable, where it was not built the size is capped at 0, which
rules the investment out and keeps its fixed effects_of_investment uncharged.
The second stage keeps the combinatorics of the first without inheriting a size
that may no longer fit.
An investment that was mandatory in the sizing run has no binary and therefore
no decision to carry over; those elements are absent from statistics.invested
and left untouched.
statistics.invested exposes the investment decisions as a Dataset, mirroring
statistics.sizes, and is what fix_invest_decisions() reads by default. The
element lookup shared with fix_sizes() moved into a helper.

Storage investments live in Storage.capacity_in_flow_hours rather than
Flow.size, and nothing in the suite exercised that path for either transform -
a lookup that only scanned flows would have left the capacity a free variable
without a single test noticing.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Always reset the returned FlowSystem.

If decisions is empty, such as when all investments are mandatory, modified remains false. FlowSystem.from_dataset() restores the source solution, so this method returns stale stage-one results instead of the documented unsolved FlowSystem. Call new_fs.reset() unconditionally after reconstruction.

Proposed fix
- if modified:- new_fs.reset()+ new_fs.reset()
