Offshore grid jgb #8

Closed jgeab closed 3 years ago

jgeab commented 5 years ago

Possibility to create an offshore grid is introduced. This model branch should be tested with the data branch "offshore_grid_jgb".

This add-on is modeled with a MIP approach to take economies of scale into account. A linear approach is likely to lead to unrealistic results, e.g. many small transmission lines would be built.

Hooks and bb4datainc.inc are modified to allow for additions of geographical data coming from add-on right at the beginning. This avoids problems related to defining some parameter X, processing some data based on X, and then adding more data about X.
