ESDL ‐ Tulipa (WIP)

Description	Tulipa Parameter	ESDL Parameter	Tulipa Units	ESDL Units	Tulipa Assets	ESDL Assets	Comment Ewoud
Boolean indicating the asset is active for use in the scenario	active	state	true/false	ENABLED/ DISABLED	Producers, Consumers, Conversion, Storage	ProductionAsset, ConsumptionAsset, ConversionAsset, StorageAsset	There is also OPTIONAL: which means assets that are not installed but could be invested in
Peak demand of the consuming asset	peak_demand	power	MW	W	Consumer	ConsumptionAsset
Whether an asset can be invested in to increase capacity	investable	NONE	true/false	---	Producers, Conversion, Storage	---	See state.OPTIONAL
Cost of increasing capacity of asset	investment_cost	InvestmentCosts	kEUR/MW/year	EUR/MWh/yr	Producers, Conversion, Storage	ProductionAsset, ConversionAsset, StorageAsset	Units are configurable, so EUR/MW/yr is also possible
Yearly cost of the asset	variable_cost	variableOperational AndMaintenanceCosts	???	EUR/MWh	Producers, Conversion, Storage
How long an asset can produce before retiring	lifetime	technicalLifetime	Years	Years	Producers, Conversion, Storage	ProductionAsset, ConversionAsset, StorageAsset
Max capacity an asset can reach through investment	investment_limit	NONE	MW	---	Producers, Conversion, Storage	---	Could be implemented by setting a rangedconstraint on the power attribute (https://energytransition.github.io/#router/doc-content/687474703a2f2f7777772e746e6f2e6e6c2f6573646c/RangedConstraint.html)
Incremental increase in asset capacity if invested in	capacity (RENAME)	NONE	MW	---	Producers, Conversion	---	Discuss with Edwin: AssetTemplate? Or measures?
Capacity of asset before investment	initial_capacity	power	MW or MWh?	W	Producers, Conversion	ProductionAsset, ConversionAsset
Conversion efficiency between 2 energy carriers or materials	efficiency	1: efficiency, multi: InputOutputRelation	Scalar	Scalar	Conversion	ConversionAsset
Rate at which a storage asset can charge	initial_storage_capacity	maxChargeRate	MW	W	Storage	StorageAsset	Do you see storage as a single asset or do you distinghish between charge, store and discharge (similar to Opera).  Both can be modeled in ESDL (with CompoundAsset)
Rate at which a storage asset can discharge	initial_storage_capacity	maxDischargeRate	MW	W	Storage	StorageAsset
Energy in storage asset at start of scenario	initial_storage_level	fillLevel	MWh	J?	Storage	StorageAsset	fillLevel is ratio of the capacity of storage asset, so no unit. (see https://energytransition.github.io/#router/doc-content/687474703a2f2f7777772e746e6f2e6e6c2f6573646c/Storage.html)
Capacity of asset before investment	initial_capacity	capacity	MW or MWh?	J	Storage	StorageAsset
Investment option for upgrading discharge rate	energy_to_power_ratio	NONE	h	---	Storage	StorageAsset	Use output energy divided by power for this?
Free energy profile (rain for hydro)	storage_inflows	NONE	MWh	---	Storage	StorageAsset	Use input port profile for Water/Rain carrier, unit can be self-defined (e.g. MWh/J/m3/liter/s
Whether the storage asset is for short or longterm storage	storage_type	NONE	short/long	---	Storage	StorageAsset	Could be derived from storage capacity?
