In the RTD assumptions we started to describe the assumptions for component models. This is to explain how they are modelled in the MVS, and maybe give a hint on the limitations of the approach. This should in the end include all assets that are to be modelled with the MVS:

• Electrical storage (BESS) - as per requirements
• Stratified thermal storage - add-on for GRECO
• thermal storage - as per requirements
• Generic storage - eg. for H2 storage (Walqua)
• Energy providers - as per requirements with peak demand pricing and energy price timeseries
• Electrical transformers (inverters, rectifiers) - "transformers" see FUN-MVS-06, used for transformer stations which are focal point of E-Land bottlenecks
• Charge controllers - for completeness, ie. used managing storage assets (used to add costs)
• CHP - as per requirements
• Undispatchable sources (renewable sources) - as per requirements (PV)
• Dispatchable sources (fuel sources) - not in requirements, complementary to uni-lateral energy providers?
• Excess sinks (automatically added) - not in requirements, necessary from energy modelling perspective
• Electrolyzer - Needed in Walqua
• Heat pump (geothermal) - as per requirements
• Solar thermal collectors - Needed in UVtgV
• Heat pump (HVAC) - Needed in UVTgV
• Biogas power plant - Optional description, needed for Auroville
• other power plants?

Following are the todos:

• Someone needs to read the descriptions and tick the checkboxes for the assets already described
• Check with the requirements whether any assets were forgotten in above list
• Check with pilot sites whether any assets were forgotten in above list (add info in which pilot site the asset is needed) @smartie2076 ?
• Propose in the structure of that section (eg. we could use the common sections energyProvider, energyConsumperion, energyProduction, energyStorage, energyConversion to mirror both EPA and MVS input data).
