I guess converter & storage can act as both producer & consumer in these rules? Can they be terminal points?
Kind of... These rules are basically defining a system that produces and consumes the correct energy types, thus at least having the potential to balance. (ignoring capacities) You need at least 1 producer and 1 consumer - beyond that you can have storage/conversion, but they don't replace the minimum producer & consumer. You CAN have a producer of energy type A and a consumer of energy type B, IF there's a converter of A->B.
As far as I know, storage and conversion cannot be terminal points. You will always need an outflow to a terminal consumer.
Hydro might be a weird case that bends these rules, by having an inflow that's not a producer... ? @datejada @gnawin
Valid minimal systems:
Note: I can't remember how we defined Hubs. They might have super powers.

Or it could be we implement hydro as: Water producer -> Water-to-Electricity converter -> Elec consumer
But I'm not sure.
@suvayu Is this issue still relevant?
Well, it is still required for completeness. And probably useful also in the main model. I don't know what should be the priority.
Moving it to IO then.
Here's a list of minimum graph criteria to check:
This is very basic and I'm sure there's more with specific parameters, so please add your ideas! @datejada @gnawin
