PV panels and Electricity Layer

[ArthurWaeber]

Is there an existing issue for this?

What happened?

Dear Dorsan, Dear Joseph, Dear Cédric,Dear REHO Explorers,
After some basic trials on REHO, I wanted to simplify as much as possible the model to better understand the integration of my new technology (SOFC.mod). It seems that PV panels cannot be excluded of the analysis, and I am afraid that my SOFC model, as an electricity production unit is affected by this issue. FYI, my SOFC model is currently added but almost negligible compared to PV (even with investment cost being reduced down to 0).

Thanks for your help :)
Arthur

Anything else?

I was not willing to look further into the repo code. However in initialise_units (infrastructure.py) the PV are added by default. The error I get here above is after me removing them explicitly from the list: units_to_keep (l. 386).

@cterrier24 and @DorsanL, we might have a discussion on why some units must be defined in the model. For instance, here if there is no PV, there is no Units_curtailment, hence the IndexError Arthur got.

So, Arthur, as you can guess from this, some of the units are explicitly not removable and this shoud not be changed in the code. For the issue that you have with the PV still used even when setting scenario['exclude_units'] = ['PV'], the issue comes from somewhere else and we can have a further discussion so that I can try to understand the problem

Hi Joseph, Sure let’s talk about it tomorrow or during the week. I chose to remove the PV, because they were overwhelmingly present in my simulations where I tries to integrate a new technology for electricity production (the SOFC). Let’s discuss that offline, no rush.
