I found more participants (not installed by default). However, some of them may cause severe trouble. Keep in mind: intrinsic Full Load Hours of the buildings_chp: 2,680 hours
All of these participants are triggered by the same buildings_chp profile: ("up to" refers to FLH that depend on the demand. The other FLH are fixed)
Should the user decide to vote for a lot of buildings_collective_chp_wood_pellets, the residual demand curve might get severely messed up.
including @ChaelKruip
Also interesting to see that the fuel_cell runs for more than five year per year!
I believe this is a modeling issue related to number of households. assigning to @ChaelKruip as I have an idea what these devices should do, but not why this happens
to come to a solution for this ticket: the current buildings_CHP profile has only 2679 full load hours. This makes sense for gas boilers, which have a very high capacity. Gas boilers are switched on/off frequently, which explains the low FLH. New technologies, like heat pumps and fuel cells but also central CHPs, have much higher FLH because they operate closer to their peak load most of the time.
would it be an idea to define new profiles for all heating technologies that
We could just use a flat profile like industry_CHP, or define new ones. I also understand that we have a new intern starting soon, who is going to work on the heating of buildings/households? Maybe he will have much better ideas.
@Richard-Deuchler yes. I finally understand this issue now. Sorry, bit slow. We should definitely do this. CHP profiles exist to group CHPs together by their type of use, not by their sector. base-load technologies need other profiles than technologies that are switched on and off all the time.
buildings_collective_chp_natural_gas
have a Nominal electrical capacity of 0.466 MW. The profile that we use in the merit order has a Full Load Hour characteristic: 2,680 h. This is smaller than the Full Load Hours specified in the ETM backend: 3,942 h. As shown in profile specifications, this is not 'allowed". In consequence, the buildings CHPs will actually produce up to 0.685 MW within the hourly calculation in merit order, which is above their nameplate capacity!Problems:
