Hi Sam,
We have had similar discussions about commercial software within our team as well.
To run the model in myopic mode: you'll just need to specify this in the config file. There's a section called "Solve Myopically" where the --myopic option is commented out. You will need to uncomment that option to have Temoa solve the database in myopic mode. Once you run the model at the command line, it will offer you a few options: you can have the model solve several years at a time, but only keep the results from the first year and then proceed to the following year (a rolling horizon or limited foresight approach). Or you could solve the model in a mode with no foresight, where you only solve one year at a time (so the model has no information about future demands, technologies, etc). A caveat - make sure that the config file is only named config_sample, or you may run into issues (we're working to update this).
Let us know if this approach works for you. We haven't tried this approach with coincbc, so this would be helpful for us to know what you find.
Best,
Aranya
