Storage units#
One of the 24 fragments of examples/pypsa.yaml: PyPSA's StorageUnit. It adds a term to primary_energy, operational_limit, tech_capacity_expansion, scenario_opex, Carrier_additions, Bus_injection. It reads CVaR_omega, GlobalConstraint_counts_snapshot, GlobalConstraint_snapshot_closes, period_weight_objective, period_weight_years, scenario_weight and 2 more under given.

| \(\mathrm{cyc}\) | StorageUnit_cyclic_state_of_charge over \(\Xi \times \mathcal{S}\) — whether the horizon closes on itself instead of opening on the initial charge |
| \(\mathrm{cyc}^{y}\) | StorageUnit_cyclic_state_of_charge_per_period over \(\Xi \times \mathcal{S}\) — whether each investment period closes on itself instead of carrying its charge on to the next; it overrides cyclic_state_of_charge and state_of_charge_initial_per_period. PyPSA reads it only under multi_investment_periods, so data prep feeds false otherwise |
| \(\mathrm{reset}\) | StorageUnit_state_of_charge_initial_per_period over \(\Xi \times \mathcal{S}\) — whether each investment period opens on the initial charge instead of carrying the previous period's; PyPSA reads it only under multi_investment_periods, so data prep feeds false otherwise |
| \(\mathrm{open}\) | StorageUnit_opens_late over \(\mathcal{T} \times \mathcal{S}\) — whether a snapshot is the first a storage unit stands in, where that is not the first of the horizon — PyPSA's active.cumsum() == 1 over the snapshots it stands in, past the first snapshot, data prep; false in a run where every unit stands throughout |
| \(\mathrm{idle}\) | StorageUnit_inactive_snapshots over \(\mathcal{S}\) — how many snapshots a storage unit does not stand in — PyPSA's (~active).sum(), data prep. A cyclic unit reaches back this many snapshots further, so it closes on the last snapshot it stands in |
| \(\mathrm{c}^{h}\) | StorageUnit_marginal_cost over \(\Xi \times \mathcal{T} \times \mathcal{S}\) — cost of one unit of dispatch |
| \(\mathrm{c}^{h,(2)}\) | StorageUnit_marginal_cost_quadratic over \(\Xi \times \mathcal{T} \times \mathcal{S}\) — cost of the square of one unit of dispatch; storing is not charged |

Variables#
| Symbol | Meaning |
|---|---|
| \(h^{+}\) | StorageUnit_p_dispatch over \(\Xi \times \mathcal{T} \times \mathcal{S}\) — StorageUnit-p_dispatch — power delivered to the bus |
| \(h^{-}\) | StorageUnit_p_store over \(\Xi \times \mathcal{T} \times \mathcal{S}\) — StorageUnit-p_store — power drawn from the bus into charge |
| \(\mathit{soc}\) | StorageUnit_state_of_charge over \(\Xi \times \mathcal{T} \times \mathcal{S}\) — StorageUnit-state_of_charge — energy held at the end of a snapshot |
| \(\mathit{spill}\) | StorageUnit_spill over \(\Xi \times \mathcal{T} \times \mathcal{S}\) — StorageUnit-spill — inflow passed on unused. Zero where there is no inflow, so the balance keeps its row there; the bounds are PyPSA's, on the variable rather than as rows |
| \(H\) | StorageUnit_p_nom_ext over \(\mathcal{S}\) — StorageUnit-p_nom — nominal power where it is a decision; the parameter of the same PyPSA name carries the fixed regime |

| \(\overleftarrow{\mathit{soc}}\) | StorageUnit_charge_carried_in over \(\Xi \times \mathcal{T} \times \mathcal{S}\) — the charge a unit opens a snapshot with — at the first snapshot it stands in, its last such snapshot's less standing loss where it is cyclic and the given initial charge, which no standing loss has touched yet, where it is not; the previous snapshot's less standing loss otherwise. A unit built in a later period opens in that period, and a cyclic one that retires closes on its own last snapshot. Per period, the same holds with each investment period as the horizon |
| \(\mathit{w}^{h}\) | StorageUnit_closing_weight over \(\Xi \times \mathcal{G} \times \mathcal{T} \times \mathcal{S}\) — what the charge a unit holds at a snapshot counts for in a row as its closing level — the years of the period at the last snapshot of each counted period where the unit reopens per period, one at the last counted snapshot where it does not, and nothing elsewhere |
| \(\mathit{StorageUnit\_primary\_energy}\) | StorageUnit_primary_energy over \(\Xi \times \mathcal{G}\) |
| \(\mathit{StorageUnit\_operational\_limit}\) | StorageUnit_operational_limit over \(\Xi \times \mathcal{G}\) |

\(t \ominus k\) denotes cyclic translation: index \(t-k\) taken modulo the size of the dimension (roll). Plain \(t-k\) (shift) has no wraparound — terms translated past the edge are simply absent.
\(t \ominus^{\mathrm{relation}(t)} k\) denotes a translation counted inside the group a relation puts \(t\) in (shift(by=relation)), so a term never crosses out of its own group.
\(\mathrm{pos}(t)\) denotes where index \(t\) sits along its dimension's own order — the order shift steps along, not the order labels sort in — counted from \(0\). The index itself stays the coordinate, so \(t\) compares against labels and \(\mathrm{pos}(t)\) against positions.
\(\mathrm{pos}_{\mathrm{relation}(t)}(t)\) counts within the group a relation puts \(t\) in: the subscript names the map, \(\mathcal{T}_{\mathrm{relation}(t)}\) is the group it lands in, and that group has a first position of its own.
\(\lvert \mathcal{T} \rvert\) denotes the size of the set being counted along, and a position counted from the end prints against it — \(\lvert \mathcal{T} \rvert - 1\) is the last position, one less than the size because the first is \(0\).
