Benchmarks: first iteration (pypsa)

[danielelerede-oet]

• [x] Generate sample problems
• [x] Generate .lp files for the sample problems
• [x] Produce instructions and draft criteria to build the sample problems
• [ ] Simplify the config files by removing entries that are the same in config.default.yaml
• [x] Change the pypsa problem with unit commitment to use gas (as Fabian suggested)

In the folder https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1eG9Z2BYDXM07th3BFHJ6Y3LNS9cJc6zn?usp=drive_link you can find the config files/scripts for the generation of the PyPSA-based problems proposed by Fabian for the project.

1. PyPSA-EUR, sector-coupled, infrastructure model, 3h x 1 year, country level (Italy, 2 nodes - minimum value because of the Sardinian node), no transmission expansion, no unit commitment --> config_1.yaml
2. PyPSA-EUR, power system, infrastructure model, 3h X 1 year, sub-country level (Italy, 50 nodes), with transmission expansion, no unit commitment --> config_2.yaml
3. PyPSA-EUR, power system, operational model, 1h X 1 month, sub-country level (Italy, 50 nodes), no transmission expansion, no unit commitment --> config_3.yaml
4. PyPSA-EUR, power system, operational model, 1h X 1 month, sub-country level (Italy, 50 nodes), no transmission expansion, with unit-commitment for conventional fleet --> config_4.yaml
5. wind + solar + electrolyser, 1h X 1 year, unit commitment for electricity (based on https://pypsa.readthedocs.io/en/latest/examples/capacity-expansion-planning-single-node.html, removed battery storage and CO2 limits, unit commitment for onshore and offshore wind with p_min_pu = 0.3) --> problem_5.py
6. wind + solar + electrolyser, 1h X 1 year, no unit commitment (based on https://pypsa.readthedocs.io/en/latest/examples/capacity-expansion-planning-single-node.html. removed battery storage and CO2 limits) --> problem_6.py
