storage

The central module containing all code dealing with H2 stores in Germany

This module contains the functions used to insert the two types of H2 store potentials in Germany:

• H2 overground stores (carrier: ‘H2_overground’): steel tanks at every H2 bus

• H2 underground stores (carrier: ‘H2_underground’): saltcavern store at every H2_saltcavern bus. NB: the saltcavern locations define the H2_saltcavern buses locations.

All these stores are modelled as extendable PyPSA stores.

calculate_and_map_saltcavern_storage_potential()

Calculate site specific storage potential based on InSpEE-DS report.

This function inserts data into the database and has no return.

insert_H2_overground_storage()

Insert H2_overground stores into the database.

Insert extendable H2_overground stores (steel tanks) at each H2 bus.

Returns:

None

insert_H2_saltcavern_storage()

Insert H2_underground stores into the database.

Insert extendable H2_underground stores (saltcavern potentials) at every H2_saltcavern bus.This function inserts data into the database

Returns:

None

write_saltcavern_potential()

Write saltcavern potentials into the database

Returns:

None
