Preliminary Result Analysis

The preliminary result analysis is best suited for small to medium size supply system models (up to about 30 to 40 components). Since it serves both purposes at once, doing the actual result analysis and allowing some straight forwared comparisons. Following subsections give an overview of the conducted preliminary result analysis. Amining at demonstrating the method itself as well as selecting specific aspects for further Comparative Result Analysis.

The horizontal bar charts shown below, plot the installed capacities, summed loads and total emissions caused clustered by component for each of the softwares used. Components are not shown where the respective result is zero among the results for all of the investigated softwares.

Further Analysis Selection

Following remarks can be made after preliminary results analysis for each of the investigated model scenario combinations.

CompCnE

The Component Comittment results of all softwares are well within a range of deviation less than 10%. This includes integrated global results, capacities installed and summed up load results but excludes total emissions caused. Since the latter has no senodary impact on other system behaviour due to no emission limit imposed, overall comparison relevant results resemble closely.

The Component Expansion results on the other hand differ substantially between PyPSA and the remaining softwares. Whereas the results for Calliope, FINE and oemof are again well within a range of deviation less than 10%. This includes all the investigated preliminary results (IGR, installed capacities, summemd up loads, eissions caused). Indicating that a closer comparison between one of the other tools and PyPSA seems sensible. The amount of deviation however, suggests significant discrepancies, most likely beeing identifiable without utilizing the finer grained comparative analysis strategy proposed in this thesis.

Comparing the summed loads and installed capacities of the Hard Coal CHP and the Biogas CHP component in conjunction with the installed capacity of the Heat Storage component indicate, that PyPSA does not interpet emission allocation to CHP coompents as designed by Tessif. Likely making the use of the overall more energy efficient combined heat and power generation, in conjunction with non cyclic state of charge constraints, preferable.

The plausiblity check as well as the tabular parameter comparison of the Hard Coal CHP, the Biogas CHP and the Heat Storage done in the Comparative Result Analysis were able to verify or at least plausify this theory. So that for further analysis an additional optimization is performed labeled as modified CompE where emissions are allocated to hard coal and biogas supply lines so that PyPSA can correctly interpret Tessif's intend.

Modified CompE

As described above the modified CompE model-scenario-combination reallocates CHP component relevant emissions to their respective commidity supply line so that PyPSA is able to correctly interpret Tessif’s intend in this regard.

As indicated by the integrated global results, still some deviations remain. PyPSA's total emission results are still 1.06 times that of oemof while overall costs are only still about 89% of that of oemof. Hence further investigations are recommended most likely revolving around the Battery component judging from the total component emissions diagram.

If the recommended comparative result analysis was not to be conducted (e.g. for technical reasons or reasons of brevity), the method propses the investigation of relative differences. In this case however, they would probably not result in any further valuable insight. Since the root cause seems to be a minor deviation within the PyPSA storage component behaviour, a plausiblity-check as propsed in the respective method section would be advised.

LossLC

The Lossless Comittment results of all softwares are well within a range of deviation less than 1% for the IGR, the summed up loads (except for those show below) as well as overall emissions caused.

Analysing the net energy flows where deviation is greater than 10% yields the results shown below. Revealing that Calliope uses the Biogas commodity, instead of the Gas commodity. If the LossLC model scenario combination was a standalone investigation focused on the actual optimization results rather than on their comparison, further investigations would be recommended. Since this not the case however, and overall integrated global results resemble very closely, no further effort is undertaken at this point.

TransCnE

The observed devation of the No Congestion Transformer results are less than 5% among all results compared in the preliminary result analysis, with the exception of the total component emissions caused, where Calliope allocates emissions slightly differently without impacting overal emissions. Thus, further comparative result analysis is deemed unnecessary.

For the Congestion Transformer Commitment results total emissions vary slightly between PyPSA and Fine as well as Oemof and Calliope due to only the latter beeing able to allocate eissions to Sink inflows. This impacts overall global emissions, where as the other integrated global results as well as summed up loads do not deviate more than 1%. No

The Transformer Expansion results of all softwares are well within a range of deviation less than 5%. This includes integrated global results, capacities installed and summed up load results but excludes total component emissions caused, where Calliope allocates emissions differently, however without effecting overall emissions. Hence the results are interpreted as similar enough to not warrent further investigations

Additional Remarks

The Congestion Transfer Commitment model scenario combination is designed to model grid congestion effects. To counter act these, a subsequent redispatch is necessary, which can be calculated by comparing the inflows of an Excess Sink component and the outflows of the respective Deficit Source component on the other side of the grid component having congestion issues.

Within the optimized timespan, two occurences of redispatch happen. Both at the High Medum Transfer component and thus in the power flow direction from high voltage grid to medium voltage grid. The table below lists these congestion occurences and the subsequent redispatch necessary.
