Is this list complete? Are these converters in the correct 'class'

@ChaelKruip isn't this a 'merit' issue? I have taken a look at this but not validated this with anyone explicitly. I have the following comments. Everything is in the right class and the list is complete, except for the things mentioned below. The profiles I will discuss in #277 .

• We are missing: energy_power_geothermal. Should be noted in an issue on merit.
• We are missing: energy_power_hydro_mountain. Should be noted in an issue on merit. This iwill become relevant for abroad. (https://github.com/quintel/merit/issues/69)
• energy_power_solar_csp_solar_radiation plants have a differerent profile from solar PV plants, in countries that are suited for it as they store their heat in molten salt, which allows them to keep producing for ~18 - 20 hours per year
• We are missing: all lignite plants, which we will need for modeling abroad and import/export

Should we generate issues for 'merit' before closing this issue?

Assigning this back to you now.

Created https://github.com/quintel/merit/issues/86 for the remaining issues. Closing.
