For the first release that is promoted to the partners, we do not have to fullfill all requirements outlined in #532. Instead, we should aim to finish the most pressing requirements and include the most important features.
Below, I will gather the checklists of the different categories:

General

• Move from mvs-eland to multi-vector-simulator
• (1.) Installation option via pypi (The multi-vector-simulator is not available on pypi.org #588) @Bachibouzouk @SabineHaas
• (last) Official release version on master @smartie2076 @Bachibouzouk

Features

• Simulate sector-coupled energy systems
• Cost-postprocessing: NPV, LCOE
• (4.) Renewable share decision: Individual sectors or also applying weighting? (Renewable share calculation can be misleading #636) @smartie2076 @Bachibouzouk
• (5a.) Definition of energy busses via csv ([Decision wanted] Definition of energy busses via csv #635) -> (Implement energy_busses.csv #649)
• (5b.) Excess generation (Energy excess parameters may be calculated incorrectly #559) @SabineHaas
• Minimal renewable share constraint
• Maximum capacity constraint
• ❌ Ability to interconnect the capacities of bi-directional assets (Transformer objects describing in/out of a bus should be connected #24, Develop needed constraints for MVS (ongoing) #133) -> add-on feature
• ❌ (11.) Optional: Degree of sector-coupling (Implement degree of sector coupling #702)
• (12.) Degree of autonomy (energy balance) @Bachibouzouk -> I think @Piranias uses this in Implementation of Self-sufficiency & self-consumption (nicht bilanziell) #603
• (13.) Percentage of self-supply (hourly, Implementation of Self-sufficiency & self-consumption (nicht bilanziell) #603 ) @Piranias
• (14.) Percentage of self-consumption (hourly, Implementation of Self-sufficiency & self-consumption (nicht bilanziell) #603 ) @Piranias
• [optional] CO2 emissions (Add CO2 emission constraint and KPIs #677)

Testing

• Basic component benchmark tests
• Benchmark test for minimal renewable share
• (6.) Benchmark test for cost-postprocessing (LCOE for single and sector-coupled systems) Write benchmark tests for npc and lcoe #613 @smartie2076 @Bachibouzouk

Readthedocs

• (15.) Upto date installation instructions (Complete release protocol #601) @SabineHaas @Bachibouzouk
• (10.) Model assumptions: CHP, thermal storages, geothermal conversion assets ([RTD] Describe assumtions for energy assets #779) @SabineHaas
• (9.) Model equations (Model_Equations #581) @ursulaelmir @smartie2076
• [~] (7.) Parameter descriptions ([Documentation] The parameter description fields need to be defined clearly #586) @Bachibouzouk @smartie2076
• (8.) Limitations (Limitations description #580) @ursulaelmir @smartie2076

Bugfixes

• (2.) Mislabeled efficiency for storage ([On hold][Bug] storage_01.csv mislabeled "efficiency" for storage capacity #295) @SabineHaas
• (16.) Representation of battery discharge in plots (Energy bus plot including battery system is omitting battery discharge line #444) @SabineHaas
• (3.) Transformers: Definition of input- and outputs (Redefine transformer behavior (fix assignment to in- and output flows)  #389, [bug] capex_var inconsistently connected to input or output of transformer component #246) @SabineHaas
• ❌ [look at] Possible loops between feed-sink and consumption-source (Undesired loop with consumption from and feed-in to the grid #119) -> during simulations
• Report is incorrectly formatted ([Bug] Report is incorrectly formatted: Multiple energy carriers, ES graph #535, [Bug] No tables being rendered in the PDF report #634) @Bachibouzouk
• Path issue for generating the report ([Bug] The report cannot be processed with the new release #594) @Bachibouzouk
• Label might be an unneeded parameter in the csvs (Label might be an unneeded parameter in the csvs #375) @SabineHaas
• Fix math equations in RTD (Fix math equations in readthedocs #604)
• Enter feed-in tariff as positive value (not, as right now, as a negative value) (Feed-in tariff in 'energyProvider.csv' should be negative #610) @SabineHaas
• Fixcost.csv not used as a file or functionality Fixcost.csv not used as a file or functionality #655 (@smartie2076)
