Scale export value #24

Closed energyLS closed 1 year ago

energyLS commented 1 year ago

When adding the export value in pypsa-earth-sec, the value should not just divided by 8760 but also the snapshots should be taken into account? Otherwise, the total export scales with 1/(temporal resolution)?

See https://github.com/pypsa-meets-earth/pypsa-earth-sec/blob/16fa0127bf7179c8e9b0d0bf69d4616b818f6fa8/scripts/add_export.py#L94 for current implementation

This is not necessary, it makes sense to apply the 8760 hours so we get "power"/p_set. The snapshots approach assuming only two time steps per year the whole energy (e.g. h2 export) had to be generated in only 2 hours leading to extremly high necessary power of the energy system, this doesn't make sense.

PyPSA-Eur-Sec implements it the same way with 8760h: https://github.com/PyPSA/pypsa-eur-sec/blob/432821cf752c5453d09bc9926a693e7b77327d88/scripts/prepare_sector_network.py#L2058
