Feature minimal demand coverage for households #115

Closed Bachibouzouk closed 3 months ago

Bachibouzouk commented 5 months ago

112 should be merged first

Fix #90

I'm so impressed with how quickly you implemented this feature! The new asset sizes seem to make sense, what I'm not quite understanding is why the LCOE is higher than without the reduced option. I would have thought that the reduced demand option is making better use of the assets (using the excess electricity in a smarter way), so I expected the LCOE costs to drop a bit.

In general we also need to figure out how to handle it in the outputs so that it is clear to the user.

Which graphs should we be adding/modifying and in what way?
Should we aggregate all of the demand timeseries in the stacked plot so as to not have too many timeseries?
At which points do we mention total demand vs. actually fulfilled demand (both in the output tables and in the document text?

I am not sure I shared the latest LCOE results with you, I fixed it in MVS and the version 1.0.7rc7 waits to be updated on the simulation server (after the workshops)

Maybe add info in the community summary as to how much of the household demand was fulfilled

I am not sure we want to go into the "how much was saved in comparison to not reducable demand" but this could be a possibility

for "Stacked timeseries" I would just aggregate the total fullfilled demand

I don't think there is more graphs/figures we can modify

Maybe report the demand reduction parameter set by the user somewhere

Sounds good. I already set up a demand_coverage parameter for the report, maybe in the outputs page it could also be on first summary table.
