Co2L... in Documenation #865

Closed flo161616 closed 5 months ago

I am using the 0.8.1 release of PyPSA-eur on WSL.

Description: The Documentation for the sector-opts wildcard seems to be misleading or wrong. When using a sector-coupled network and using Co2L in sector-opts an error in prepare_sector_network occurs. It seems as if there was no option for Co2L without a float appending. Furthermore, the Documentation says, the Co2L... references co2base. However, this could not be reproduced and an inspection of the code buid_energy_totals.py gave hints, that it uses only the values directly from eea. So when using sector-coupled networks neither co2base nor co2limit have any effects. This was tested using the description below.

On a sidenote: It seems the o in Co2L has to be lowercase, however in the config/test/config.overnight.yaml it is written as CO2L.

How to reproduce: Tested with Co2L0.25-24H-T-H-B-I-A. Single week, Belgium. Using this when doubeling the co2base the emissions did not double. However they doubled when using Co2L0.5.

Yes, it is currently confusing that the Co2L wildcard has different usage patterns in {sector_opts} and {opts} wildcard, and apologies for the wrong documentation on that. I have adjusted that in a8cd1186. In the long term, we will phase out the wildcards with new scenario management and uniformize electricity-only and sector-coupled workflows. This should then also fix the ambiguity here.
