What is the learning curve constraint?

C_t = C_0 · Q_t^{-b}. Wright's Law: cost declines with cumulative capacity.

Key Takeaway
Cost trajectory.
Detailed Explanation
Wright's Law (learning curve): where C_t = unit cost at time t, Q_t = cumulative production, b = learning rate (typically 0.2-0.3 for solar). Cost declines ~18-26% per doubling of cumulative capacity. Log-linear: . Enables long-term cost projections; integrated with RL deployment trajectories for policy-consistent forecasts.
Why It Matters
Research significance: Cost model.
Energy policy relevance: Investment.
Methodological contribution: Forecast input.
