Implement degree of sector coupling

smartie2076 commented 3 years ago

When analysig the sector coupled energy systems that we simulate, it can be interesting to know how interconnected the different energy vectors actually are. For that we want to introduce a novel key performance indicator: The degree of sector coupling (DSC). There is already a description on the RTD.

[ ] The function needs to be finalized, so that it can be executed from E0.
[ ] Pytests for function must be be added
[ ] Benchmark test should be added
[ ] Think about potential outcomes and meanings of a degree of sector coupling of, eg. 0, 0.5, 1 or >1, and document them in RTD

@smartie2076 I would like to work on this issue as well, if it is okay with you :)

This has lower priority for me that updating the input data of the spanish pilot, so lets leave the issue for now. Also, I am not convinced that my previous thoughts on this are still valid, so I need to try it out myself. Are you interested in the pytests specifically?
