technologies with old pypsa assumptions #5

There are still a few technologies where the old pypsa cost assumptions are used and could be updated with the DEA assumptions, namely:

and a few others which capacities are not extendable or not included (geothermal, hydro, PHS)

I added below what I learnt in an email exchange with DEA regarding decentral water tanks.

DEA assumes 7€/litter for individual water tanks and 30K temperature difference which means 200€/kWh. On top of that, they assume extra 200€/kWh for the installation costs. In the Synergies paper, assumed investment costs are 0.9€/litter, 40k temperature difference and no installation costs. Searching online, I could easily buy small water tanks for 2€/litter, so I still think DEA cost is too high.
