convert_to_subhourly(instance_path::AbstractString, next_day_path::AbstractString)
Convert a UC instance from 36 time periods (40 minutes each) to 72 time periods (20 minutes each).
# Arguments
- `instance_path::AbstractString`: Path to the current day's instance
- `next_day_path::AbstractString`: Path to the next day's instance (needed for interpolation at boundaries)
# Returns
- Modified `UnitCommitmentInstance` with 72 time periods
# Details
The function performs the following transformations:
1. **Interpolated quantities** (demands, profiled unit outputs): Linear interpolation using next day's first period
2. **Repeated quantities** (max_power, min_power, flow limits): Each value repeated twice
3. **Ramping capacities**: Halved (since time periods are half the duration)
4. **Time period counts** (min_uptime, min_downtime, startup delay): Doubled
5. **Power production costs (not the fixed startup costs)**: Halved
# Example
```julia
current_instance = convert_to_subhourly(
"matpower/case14/2017-01-01",
"matpower/case14/2017-01-02"
)
println("Total time periods: ", current_instance.time) # Should be 72
