Expected energy system:

Received energy system:

First commit is the unchanged json file that I received, and the following commits patch the json file until it is usable. I have not seen if this file was created within the grid model view in the EPA, because I expected it should be evident if the energy system is divided into multiple parts. Please PM me if you have an access code for that.

I personally think that it was not quite clear that the energyProviders auto-generate necessary sub-assets within the MVS, and it is not necessary to do so in the EPA. These are excess assets because of that:

• Grid_DSO_consumption_period and Heat_DSO_consumption_period (in energyConversion)
• Grid_DSO_consumption and Heat_DSO_consumption (in energyProduction)

Also, the energyProviders of Electricityand Heat were not connected to the electricity (Electricity) or the heat (Heat) bus, but to Electricity_pdp and Heat_pdp bus. If the test was generated with the EPA, this should have shown up as three individual, non-connected trees in the model view...

@Isidoros, @Dimitrios: Some of the remarks above could be about our MVS-EPA parser! I do not have the output json of the EPA at hand at the moment to check.

Fixed the EPA-MVS parser (see commits)
