This is a conversion technology with volume (kWh) and capacity (kW) depending on the number of units of the households_flexibility_p2h_electricity node.
It converts excess electricity into heat according to the 'storage order' described in quintel/etmodel#1965 and stores the heat in a buffer. The efficiency of households_flexibility_p2h_electricity needs to be taken into account here.
The heat is extracted from the buffer according to a demand profile for hot water (also see https://github.com/quintel/merit/issues/131).
The rules are:
If there is excess left in this time step (after possibly higher ranked technologies have been used), convert as much electricity into heat as capacity and volume allow
Extract an amount of heat from the buffer according to the hot water demand profile (limited by capacity and amount of heat stored)
