Recently ICE vehicles were added, but the emissions were not accounted
for. Now, like aviation emissions, they are added as a negative load
to the "co2 atmosphere" bus.
The heat output from the carbon capture (CC) was being subtracted from
the CHP rather than the heat input.
Since the heat output and heat input are the same in the DEA
technology database (but at different temperatures), this bug has no
consequence, but still better to correct it.
Reasoning: we can also have fossil and biomass liquid hydrocarbons, as
well as production from the Fischer-Tropsch process, particularly for
simulations before 2050.
For the myopic method, based on the carbon budget indicated in the config file (sector_opts), a CO2 limit is calculated for every planning_horizon following an exponential or beta decay. A file with CO2 limit in every planning_horizon and a plot showing historical and planned CO2 emissions
are saved in the results
**This requires updating to UNFCCC_v23.csv in the data bundle**
This enables that the same function is used to read emissions in 2018, which are assumed to remain constant in 2019 and 2020 and subtracted from carbon budget (estimated from 2018 on).
I checked and 1990 emissions calculated with UNFCCC_v23 are very similar to those calculated with UNFCCC_v21 (<1% differences in all values at EU level).
Some countries show higher deviations, mainly in domestic aviation and navigation. I guess because those values started to be reported later and v23 should include more accurate values.
Running the rule solve_network in the university cluster, I was getting a "No space left on device" error. Making solve_dir=tmpdir by default avoids this error and makes it easier to identify any problem with temp files
This was breaking add_existing_baseyear.py and it is now fixed. Column name for commissioning year in powerplantmatching has changed. Now "DataIn" is used as column name, also when renewable capacities per country are added to the power plants dataframe
This is almost a direct copy PyPSA-Eur #167https://github.com/PyPSA/pypsa-eur/pull/167
A factor altering the maximum capacity (p_nom_max) can also be specified by e.g. solar+p3
One should be careful when using this for solar because the factor is applied to all the generators whose carrier includes the string 'solar' (i.e., it is applied to both utility and rooftop solar)
I would suggest implementing 'solar utility' and 'solar rooftop' as carriers, since this can be useful for other selecting processes. Is there is any reason for keeping 'solar' as a carrier for 'solar utility'?
The previous way of increasing maximum capacity via the config file (e.g 'solar3') is still present in the code.

Before it just had a fixed marginal cost. Now it uses DEA assumptions
for heat, electricity and capital costs.
This necessitates locating it somewhere concrete. Heat is taken from
urban central or decentral buses.
Use DEA assumptions for post-combustion carbon capture.
Also rename CCS as CC whenever only carbon capture is involved, since
sequestration (or CCU) is a separate step.
Only change was to remove the Store-Link-Bus combinations for
batteries and H2 storage from PyPSA-Eur, since they are implemented
with different names, costs and voltage level in PyPSA-Eur-Sec.
Removals are now done in a more transparent way in the config.yaml.
The assumptions for c_b and c_v and eta were arranged assuming
extraction plants (like the coal CHP in DEA).
However, if you look in DEA assumptions at "09b Wood Pellets Medium"
(used for solid biomass CHP) and "Gas turbine simple cycle (large)"
(used for gas CHP) they are not extraction plants but back pressure
plants.
The back pressure coefficient in DEA c_b is simply
c_b = name plate electricity efficiency / name plate heat efficiency
both measured when both heat and electricity are produced at maximum.
For the extraction plants, the efficiency was measured in condensation
mode, i.e. no heat production.
In almost 99.5% of cases the CHP dispatches along the backpressure
line where heat output is proportional to electricity output.
So we can switch to a single link to avoid the burden of modelling the
full electricity-heat feasibility space of CHPs.
This only applies to large CHPs in district heating networks.
Specify as dictionary, use get_parameter to get correct value.
Also remove old parameter "space_heating_fraction" since this is
superceded by the new exogenous retro code.
Strategy is too keep as much of configuration in config.yaml as
possible.
We also aim to allow exogenous investment-year-dependent
configurations to be done in a similar manner (e.g. share of district
heating or FCEV transport).
Since today's industrial electricity demand is distributed by
population and GDP, subtract this from the regular electricity demand
(which already has space/water heating subtracted).
Now regular electricity demand is only non-heating electricity demand
in residential and tertiary sectors.
Add back new industry electricity demand at the correct locations, as
determined using the hotmaps database.
I.e. per sector geographical distribution of industrial facilities
within each country.
Drop facilities outside Europe and with no geocoordinates.
Use ETS emissions as a distribution key; where emissions data is
missing, substitute with an average for that sector and that country
(strong assumption).
I.e. when the generators are clustered to the "simplified" network
resolution, but the grid is clustered further, e.g. by using the
clusters = 37m "m" option.
List classes in config.yaml, rather than integer selection in
build_biomass_potentials.py.
Also output potentials for all years and scenarios for analysis.

Don't fix uniform ratios e.g. of 0.3:0.7 primary:secondary for steel
and aluminium, but convert the necessary amount of existing primary in
each country so that the overall ratio applies at European level.
This stops sudden swings from primary to secondary in countries
dominated by primary production.
Remove non-existing biomass from chemicals and cement, since these
need higher temperatures than achievable with residues and waste.
Increase biomass in pulp and paper (since already used extensively
here and T < 500), and replace methane with biomass in food, beverages
and tobacco, since temperatures needed are low (T < 500).
This allows us to control the substitution of natural gas for hydrogen
in NH3 production.
Remaining basic chemicals are olefins, BTX and chlorine.
For 2015 NH3 production, we use the USGS data source.
