1		Unit	Values	Description
2	voltages	kV	Any subset of {200., 220., 300., 380., 500., 750.}	Voltage levels to consider
3	base_network	--	Any value in {'entsoegridkit', 'osm-prebuilt', 'osm-raw}	Specify the underlying base network, i.e. GridKit (based on ENTSO-E web map extract, OpenStreetMap (OSM) prebuilt or raw (built from raw OSM data), takes longer.
4	osm-prebuilt-version	--	float, any value in range 0.1-0.4	Choose the version of the prebuilt OSM network. Defaults to latest Zenodo release.
5	gaslimit_enable	bool	true or false	Add an overall absolute gas limit configured in ``electricity: gaslimit``.
6	gaslimit	MWhth	float or false	Global gas usage limit
7	co2limit	:math:`t_{CO_2-eq}/a`	float	Cap on total annual system carbon dioxide emissions
8	co2base	:math:`t_{CO_2-eq}/a`	float	Reference value of total annual system carbon dioxide emissions if relative emission reduction target is specified in ``{opts}`` wildcard.
9	operational_reserve			Settings for reserve requirements following `GenX <https://genxproject.github.io/GenX/dev/core/#Reserves>`_
10
11	-- activate	bool	true or false	Whether to take operational reserve requirements into account during optimisation
12	-- epsilon_load	--	float	share of total load
13	-- epsilon_vres	--	float	share of total renewable supply
14	-- contingency	MW	float	fixed reserve capacity
15	max_hours
16	-- battery	h	float	Maximum state of charge capacity of the battery in terms of hours at full output capacity ``p_nom``. Cf. `PyPSA documentation <https://pypsa.readthedocs.io/en/latest/components.html#storage-unit>`_.
17	-- H2	h	float	Maximum state of charge capacity of the hydrogen storage in terms of hours at full output capacity ``p_nom``. Cf. `PyPSA documentation <https://pypsa.readthedocs.io/en/latest/components.html#storage-unit>`_.
18	extendable_carriers
19	-- Generator	--	Any extendable carrier	Defines existing or non-existing conventional and renewable power plants to be extendable during the optimization. Conventional generators can only be built/expanded where already existent today. If a listed conventional carrier is not included in the ``conventional_carriers`` list, the lower limit of the capacity expansion is set to 0.
20	-- StorageUnit	--	Any subset of {'battery','H2'}	Adds extendable storage units (battery and/or hydrogen) at every node/bus after clustering without capacity limits and with zero initial capacity.
21	-- Store	--	Any subset of {'battery','H2'}	Adds extendable storage units (battery and/or hydrogen) at every node/bus after clustering without capacity limits and with zero initial capacity.
22	-- Link	--	Any subset of {'H2 pipeline'}	Adds extendable links (H2 pipelines only) at every connection where there are lines or HVDC links without capacity limits and with zero initial capacity. Hydrogen pipelines require hydrogen storage to be modelled as ``Store``.
23	powerplants_filter	--	use `pandas.query <https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/reference/api/pandas.DataFrame.query.html>`_ strings here, e.g. ``Country not in ['Germany']``	Filter query for the default powerplant database.
24
25	custom_powerplants	--	use `pandas.query <https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/reference/api/pandas.DataFrame.query.html>`_ strings here, e.g. ``Country in ['Germany']``	Filter query for the custom powerplant database.
26
27	everywhere_powerplants	--	Any subset of {nuclear, oil, OCGT, CCGT, coal, lignite, geothermal, biomass}	List of conventional power plants to add to every node in the model with zero initial capacity. To be used in combination with ``extendable_carriers`` to allow for building conventional powerplants irrespective of existing locations.
28
29	conventional_carriers	--	Any subset of {nuclear, oil, OCGT, CCGT, coal, lignite, geothermal, biomass}	List of conventional power plants to include in the model from ``resources/powerplants_s_{clusters}.csv``. If an included carrier is also listed in ``extendable_carriers``, the capacity is taken as a lower bound.
30
31	renewable_carriers	--	Any subset of {solar, onwind, offwind-ac, offwind-dc, offwind-float, hydro}	List of renewable generators to include in the model.
32	estimate_renewable_capacities
33	-- enable		bool	Activate routine to estimate renewable capacities in rule :mod:`add_electricity`. This option should not be used in combination with pathway planning ``foresight: myopic`` or ``foresight: perfect`` as renewable capacities are added differently in :mod:`add_existing_baseyear`.
34	-- from_opsd	--	bool	Add renewable capacities from `OPSD database <https://data.open-power-system-data.org/renewable_power_plants/2020-08-25>`_. The value is depreciated but still can be used.
35	-- year	--	bool	Renewable capacities are based on existing capacities reported by IRENA (IRENASTAT) for the specified year
36	-- expansion_limit	--	float or false	Artificially limit maximum IRENA capacities to a factor. For example, an ``expansion_limit: 1.1`` means 110% of capacities . If false are chosen, the estimated renewable potentials determine by the workflow are used.
37	-- technology_mapping			Mapping between PyPSA-Eur and powerplantmatching technology names
38	-- -- Offshore	--	Any subset of {offwind-ac, offwind-dc, offwind-float}	List of PyPSA-Eur carriers that is considered as (IRENA, OPSD) onshore technology.
39	-- -- Offshore	--	{onwind}	List of PyPSA-Eur carriers that is considered as (IRENA, OPSD) offshore technology.
40	-- -- PV	--	{solar}	List of PyPSA-Eur carriers that is considered as (IRENA, OPSD) PV technology.
41	autarky
42	-- enable	bool	true or false	Require each node to be autarkic by removing all lines and links.
43	-- by_country	bool	true or false	Require each country to be autarkic by removing all cross-border lines and links. ``electricity: autarky`` must be enabled.
