'energy_flexibility_p2g_electricity' (Power to gas) should take loss into account #787

To clarify: this is simply stating that input capacity and output capacity should not be equal. I can provide the numbers if needed.

Just so we're on the same page:

If 0.5kW of electricity goes in, how much gas comes out?

ChaelKruip commented 8 years ago

If 0.5kW of electricity goes in, how much gas comes out?

0.8 * 0.5 = 0.4 kW I would say.

0.8 * 0.5 = 0.4 kW I would say.

Thanks! I just wanted to confirm that this is an efficiency, and not simply two separate capacity limits (i.e. 2.0 in, 0.8 out; 0.8 in, 0.8 out; 0.5 in, 0.5 out; etc).

This would actually be very simple to do – a one-line change – except for the fact that we don't have a proper output capacity attribute. We might be able to use the existing capacity / carrier_capacity / performance_coefficient attributes as a stop-gap until we have better support for separate input and output capacities, and efficiency. I'll make a note to look into that, although it probably will not be before next week.
