Description
Feature Request
Currently, costs are assigned at a per carrier level, rather than at a per generator type level.
For example, costs are collected for both CCGT and OCGT; however, when inputted into the model they are aggregated into a single gas technology. It would be good to properly assign generators using the generator.carrier as gas, and generator.type as either ccgt or ocgt.
While we probably don't want to go overboard on the amount of types in the model, ones like ccgt and ocgt are probably worth separating.
Separating coal into a tech with and without CCS is also discussed in this comment
Suggested Solution
Not necessary a solution, but here are some examples of where the ccgt and ocgt are being aggregated into a single gas technology

Research direction
Check the merged pull request #56 first to see whether this work has moved or been resolved. Then inspect workflow/scripts/add_electricity.py at the referenced lines, trace how generator.carrier and generator.type are aggregated, and define completion as distinct cost assignment for the requested generator types without expanding the model's type list unnecessarily.
