Hydrogen scenario preparation

Data for hydrogen storage

Implement an electrolyzer and a gas turbine in each of the three northern nodes as invest unit with infinite investment potential and no integer investment (investMIP = 0). The discount rate is 7%, you find all other necessary data in the table below. For connecting the units to grids, refer to the sketch you prepared about the batteries in DE0 3. If you cannot recall how to implement new investment units, refer to the tutorials.

Hint: As you may have noted, there is only one efficiency (eff00) in p_unit and no minimum operation point. This is due to the simplified representation of powerplants in this bigger model to save computational time (remember the different cases from exercise 1). You can just add the one efficiency given as eff00 and not provide a minimum operation point.

Second Hint: You do not have to fill the column "UpperLimitCapacityRatio". For further information, read the comment in the excel file.
