Update based on comment from paper review #57

* Move from costs_PyPSA.csv to manual_input.csv * Include full source * Include currency year
Previous numbers were for small scale (liquefaction) or very low compared to other sources. Now using numbers which are more consistent with other assumption in TD regarding facility capacities.
New costs are based on Agora Energiewende (2018) report and contain a more consistent cost structure taking into account the maturity of the process (if H2 and CO2 feedstreams are secured without integration with e.g. SOEC) and plant sizing realistic for large scale production.

Great! Only one blunder on the methanation cost.
Unit changes from MW to kW are unproblematic for PyPSA-Eur-Sec as this is converted automatically there.

Last comment on Fischer-Tropsch / methanolisation: There is a large range of cost figures reported for FTF (and Methanol and Methane synthesis). Much of it is owing to the scsize of the facility. The new numbers of methanolisation and Fischer-Tropsch from Agora are on the higher end for large facilities and in the medium/right range for small facilities when compared to those reported by Brynolf et al (2017) Compared with e.g. Faishi et al. (2017) where they report 60 (54) kEUR/bpd for 2030 (2040), which is equivalent to 847 (762) kEUR/kW the new numbers are a bit more optimistic (comparable). Except for Mortenson et al (2019) no source states a value for FYI also @nworbmot |
Changes proposed in this Pull Request
I've updated a number of technologies and assumptions based on comments received during a recent paper review.
Some numbers were inconsistent (for different technology scales, thus economies of scale did apply less strongly than they should have).
I also did update 3 of the DEA databases to match the new versions.
See the updated release_notes.rst for details.
@lisazeyen or @fneum : Could you have a look?
