I am not sure how to tackle issue #822 with the natural gas energy carrier. Should we change the table so that the user uses gas as energy vector for natural gas or should we change the energy carrier name in the MVS so that _naturalgas is accepted ?
any suggestion @smartie2076 ?
@TheOneAndra I had to update as there was a dev fix
Hi @TheOneAndra! Hm, this is also a question of an API change - when we change from Gas
to Natural_gas
some previously created simulations may not work anymore (also, the EPA uses Gas
now). So eventhough Natural_gas
is more explicit, I would not change the name in constants.py
. How about you change the tables in https://multi-vector-simulator.readthedocs.io/en/latest/model/assumptions.html#weighting-of-energy-carriers and make Gas oil/diesel
--> Diesel
and Natural gas
--> Gas
?
Maybe you can also add a warning like this at the end of the section?
.. note::
The :code:`energy_vector` of each of the assets and busses must be identical in spelling to one of the energy carriers defined in the above table. Other energy carriers can not be parsed and will raise a warning. Please note that `Heat` currently has to be measured in kWh(thermal).

Added Natural_gas
, identical to Gas
, as EPA needs to use Gas
. It does not matter which one is used.
