Adapt calculation of required heat pump capacity per building #1163

The required heat pump capacity per building is calculated using the buildings peak heat demand. Due to some very high peaks this results in very high heat pump capacities, that are not very realistic for the buildings annual heat demand.

It is therefore suggested to cut off the peak at e.g. the 99,5 percentile. A small analysis for 15 MV grids showed, that cutting off the peaks at the 99,5 percentile would reduce the buildings annual heat demand by max. 1 %, while the heat pump capacity is reduced significantly (around 25 %).

The following needs to be done:
