Enhancement: Include Additional Storage Types (e.g., Battery Systems) from MaStR Data #220

Closed khelfen closed 2 months ago

khelfen commented 3 months ago

Description

Currently, the MaStR data on storages is only used for pumped hydro storage systems. This approach provides a solid foundation for hydro storage modeling but leaves out other significant storage types, such as battery storage systems. Home battery systems are distributed without using MaStR data but grid scale BESS are completely ignored.

Suggested Enhancement

Use the MaStR data to include information on other types of energy storage systems, especially battery systems.

According to the 2022 mastr data, the total storage capacity is divided as described in this table:

Technologie Capacity[MW] Batterie 4088.227603 Druckluft 0.207660 Pumpspeicher 9729.249235 Schwungrad 0.376400 Sonstige 31.683853

I think that it makes sense to adapt this fuction to be able to process other carriers. Based on the shown capacities, I would limit it to pumped_hydro and BESS. I will assign this issue to myself. Does it make sense for you @khelfen and @nailend?

Since the other capacities are super small, it's probably okay to prioritize BESS. Especially since BESS is growing fast it's becoming more and more relevant with each status update. In 2023 (8.1 GW) it's double what it was in 2022.
