Validate eGon100RE scenario

[CarlosEpia]

The eGon100RE scenario is being completed through issue #214. Once it works completely, it should be validated in its structure (loads, generation,...) and usability in eTrago.
The branches that fix the problems found here are:

• fixes/#280-validate-egon100_missing-cossborder-lines #304
• Fixes/#280 overwritten ch4 foreign buses #310
• Fixes/#300 finish e gon100 re heat etrago tasks fail #306

[CarlosEpia]

Using the first successful run of eGon100RE and the new pypsaeur results, we are getting the next problems:

[CarlosEpia]

Buses without anything connected to them ['36598', '36594', '36597', '36599', '41278', '36600', '36596', '41283', '36591', '36590', '36595', '41285', '36593', '36592'] All of them outside Germany.

Solved in #304

WARNING:pypsa.io:The following Store have buses which are not defined:
Index(['3639', '3640', '3641', '3642', '3643', '3644', '3645', '3646', '3647',
'3648', '3649', '3650', '3651', '3652'],

These stores are created during the execution of the pypsa-eur dataset and since the very beginning are connected to undefined buses.

Edit: This problem was fixed in 42d8a30

There is one 380kV bus per foreign country with static loads instead of time series:

Edit: This does not happen anymore with the new runs from pypsa eur and the changes we did in the scripts importing data from pypsa eur results.

[CarlosEpia]

There are two buses [13800, 29735] connected by a single line totally isolated. This creates problems with the clustering.

There are some buses [24970, 25008, 24971] connected by a single line totally isolated. This creates problems with the clustering.

The following Links have buses which are not defined:
Index(['3585', '4585']

Solved in #310

[CarlosEpia]

Since we are using results from pypsa-eur in the eGon100RE scenario, there are foreign buses with carriers different than only CH4 and AC as was the case for the eGon2035 scenario. The clustering process in eTraGo is throwing some warnings due to this difference. Some foreign bus carriers and links should be renamed to match the DE buses. There are also buses for batteries. This is not the case for batteries in DE, where the batteries are modelled like storage units. Here are some initial thoughts about how these particular cases should be managed:

<title></title>
<meta name="generator" content="LibreOffice 7.3.7.2 (Linux)"/>
<style type="text/css">
	body,div,table,thead,tbody,tfoot,tr,th,td,p { font-family:"Liberation Sans"; font-size:x-small }
	a.comment-indicator:hover + comment { background:#ffd; position:absolute; display:block; border:1px solid black; padding:0.5em;  } 
	a.comment-indicator { background:red; display:inline-block; border:1px solid black; width:0.5em; height:0.5em;  } 
	comment { display:none;  } 
</style>

Foreign bus name	DE bus name	Foreign link name	DE link name
urban_central_heat	central_heat
CH4_for_industry	-	To be defined	-
rural_heat	rural_heat	rural_air_heat_pump and rural_ground_heat_pump	rural_heat_pump
rural_water_tanks	rural_heat_store
battery	-	Will be modelled as storage_units too.	Batteries are modelled as storage_units.
urban_central_water_tanks	central_heat_store

Edit: We did several changes in the carrier names. Batteries are still modelled as a store-link-bus combination in pypsa-eur because the StorageUnit option did not worked. We kept it like this and added a function in eTraGo that combines the store-link-bus combination to a storage unit.
So this problems don't exist anymore.

This issue will be paused to give priority to the scenario path tasks. Here are listed the remaining problems that are supposed to be tackled later:

• Merge Fixes/#300 finish e gon100 re heat etrago tasks fail #306 and Fixes/#280 overwritten ch4 foreign buses #310: DONE
• Validate eGon100RE scenario #280 (comment) -> done, see updated comment
• Validate eGon100RE scenario #280 (comment) -> done, see updated comment
• Validate eGon100RE scenario #280 (comment) -> done, see updated comment
• Some changes are needed in eTraGo to process the eGon100RE scenario. Some provisional changes were done in this branch
• Pending changes eGon100RE #285

Apart from one comment in #285 (comment), the problems listed here have been already solved or disappeared in the new pypsa-eur and power-data runs.

@CarlosEpia: Is it fine for you if I close this issue, since we now have newer issues for the validation (#387)?

Agree.
