Generation Capacity Overview

Installed capacity by technology, sourced directly from the system definition (not the simulation results). This is a useful sanity-check view: what’s actually in the model before any dispatch happens.

plot_generation_capacities returns (name, ax, dataframe) so you can both render the chart and access the underlying capacity table for further analysis.
