Closes #479.

Changes proposed in this Pull Request

This PR proposes to add H2 Cavern and Tank Storages with their energy capacities and charge / discharge capacities. Optionally, for the DE/GA scenarios, expansion limits are added for these capacities for the expendable cavern storages.

Tasks

  • clean H2 storage data
  • add H2 storages to the network with correct assumptions
  • add existing capacities
  • handle expansion and existing capacities in add_brownfield

Workflow

Open issues

  • Erroneous expansion limit for NL in 2030, as potential < existing capacities for load and power. We assume a missing 0 based on extrapolation from higher year values.
  • Are the units correct? Very low values for FOM and VOM. We assume yes, technology-data assumes both at 0.

Notes

Sanity check of included capacities:

2030

2040

@lisazeyen @tgilon This PR is ready for review. I will still add a comparison plot for the capacities between raw input and what is added to the model.
Maybe you can coordinate who reviews the PR, I know that @tgilon already has a bit on his plate also with another review.

Great, thanks @daniel-rdt for the PR !
Just a few minor comments and three questions:
1.) should we align hydrogen storage charger / discharger carrier name to battery carrier naming?
2.) Do we need to add H2 storage buses for regions with zero H2 store capacity?
3.) From which data source are coming existing capacities/ trajectories for H2 tanks? I assume that only impacts DE/GA.
We still can start a test run on this branch since the suggested changes should not impact the results for the NT scenario.

thanks @daniel-rdt looks good to me! Just one question about the added renewables in one part of the code, I am not sure if that is intended.
