Adaptation to eGon-data's Updated Power Capacity Specification for Gas Power Plants #737

Open khelfen opened 3 months ago

khelfen commented 3 months ago

Objective

This issue aims to prepare eTraGo for the forthcoming changes in the eGon-data repository regarding the power capacity specification of OCGT and other CHP gas power plants. Once the related issue in the eGon-data repository is resolved, eTraGo will need adjustments to maintain compatibility and ensure accurate processing of power plant data.

Background

The eGon-data repository is addressing an inconsistency in how power capacities are specified for OCGT and other CHP gas power plants. Specifically, eGon-data will standardize the representation of power capacities across all gas power plants, affecting how these capacities are interpreted and utilized in grid optimization models within eTraGo.

When importing generators from links with the import_gen_from_links function the efficiency should be respected which is not the case at the moment. This should also be changed. E.g.:

gas_to_add.p_nom *= gas_to_add.efficiency could be added here.
