All urban central (i.e. district heating) is aggregated to the same
profile and bus.
The code is now written to cycle over each heating sector to add
demand and supply technologies, only changing what is necessary to
change, rather than just copying chunks of code and modifying
parameters there. This should make it easier to get an overview of
what's going on.
These are specified in data/heat_load_profile.csv.
The resulting heat_demand df has MultiIndex columns, where the first
level is ["sector use"], and the second level level is nodes.
Because there was insufficient solid biomass in 3-4 countries to
supply industry for it locally, and we need to account for transport
of solid biomass.
Should be replaced by transport cost links between countries.
Heat buses renamed to:
rural (for low-density areas where district heating not possible)
urban decentral (for high-density areas without district heating and
individual heating technologies) (used to be called "urban")
urban central (for high-density areas with district heating) (used to
be called "central")
District heating losses applied only to urban central.
Before both initial SOC and final SOC were set to be zero, which
prevents synthetic fuel transfer over the year boundary, and prevents
the use of fossil fuels for non-zero CO2 scenarios.
Now done properly with cyclic Store (prevents accumulation of fossil
fuels as a form of sequestration) and Generator (to imitate fossil
fuel extraction).
tech name must only appear, but not be identical to generator
carrier. This allows to use the name "offshore" for both "offshore-ac"
and "offshore-dc", but then "solar" also catches "solar thermal",
which is fine since for solar thermal potentials are np.inf, unless
limit is 0 since np.inf*0 is nan.
Remove non-renewable generator and storage units from electricity-only
base network, since they're added differently here with links.
Remove unncessary cruft from config.yaml which is not used by
PyPSA-Eur-Sec (e.g. renewable configuration parameters).
Rename "naptha" to correct "naphtha".
