Handling time series data for technologies

[rodrigomha]

In most capacity expansion models, data for investment decisions for a specific technology is usually different per zone and per period.

In PSY, each component always have assigned a specific bus (and hence zone), while we are expecting that a Technology is available at all zones (or buses). What is a good approach for storing information, e.g. capital costs, per period/zone?

If there is two-axis data, I'm guessing we can live with Matrices of data, but I'm concerned on how we scale the data. Not sure if we want to live with 3D matrices
