Add extendable renewable carriers to `extendable_carriers`/`Generator`? #355

Closed FabianHofmann closed 2 years ago

FabianHofmann commented 2 years ago

This can allow the flexibility to run an optimization with or without expansion or renewable technologies.

euronion commented 2 years ago

Do you mean something like the expansion_limit configuration option we added here: https://github.com/PyPSA/pypsa-eur/pull/352 ?

FabianHofmann commented 2 years ago

Yes, but I think both can/should exist in parallel. Assume you don't want to build out onshore wind but only use capacities from today and the other renewables could be extended by 10%. Then, you'd remove onwind from extendable_carriers and set the expansion limit.

Gotcha!

@fneum and I were also discussing yesterday about being able to provide a dictionary of countries + expansion_limit for each country. One could Combine, such that one can supply a number (all carriers + countries), a dict of carriers, a dict of countries or a dict of countries and carriers.
