Description
Tobias showed in his seminar presentation in the Energy Informatics seminar that the choice of wind turbine type can have a significant impact on the optimal investment. Currently, PyPSA-Eur only considers one turbine type for onshore wind generation. An extension would be -- as a tradeoff between increased complexity through additional decision variables and offering choice of turbine type -- to include in addition to the default Vestas V112 a typical low-wind turbine as investment option.

Research direction
Begin by locating where PyPSA-Eur defines the default Vestas V112 onshore wind turbine and how generation investment options enter the model. Compare the existing option with the proposed typical low-wind turbine and determine the required input and optimization changes. Done means a low-wind turbine can be selected as an additional onshore investment option without removing the default.
