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
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superceded by the new exogenous retro code.
It is identical to config.default.yaml except for two parameters
(foresight and planning_horizons) so I decided to consolidate the
example configs. Instructions for how to use the myopic foresight can
be found in the documentation (now updated).
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.
