Hello,
I currently try to enable oemof to be able to invest in storage capacity as well as in power per Technology (for example a pump storage).
I am Aware of the capacity_ratio Parameter, though that seems to be fixed and I want it to be variable.
My Approach was to Limit the Maximum flow.
General “Flow” questions:
-
The flow itself has to be seen as a summed up flow per period (kWh / Joule) and is either set by the user or optimized by oemof. If latter is the case, oemof will have the possibility to invest in kWh/€ (or whatever I choose to be the “unit”) ?
Example: outputs={bel : solph.Flow(actual_value=data[‘wind’],fixed=True,investment=solph.Investment(ep_costs=epc_wind))} -
I don’t fully understand the implications when using the flow class with Storages. That flow is apparently created by using the capacity_ratio and has to be set and I am bounded by that.
–> To be able to bound the flow aside from the capacity_ratio my idea is to create a dummy bus+dummy-technology
–> General_Electricity_Bus <----Dummy_Flow—> <—>General_Storage_Class
That doens’t seem elegant to me at all, but I don’t see any other Workarounds.
Can anybody help me with that?
BR
Fabian
