I had to pin powerplantmatching to 0.6.1. There are several reasons:
-
Since 0.7 the MASTR data is directly available in ppm. Since we have our own workflow for the MASTR data (add_chps in add_existing_baseyear) this may loead to duplication of some German powerplants, particularly CHPs
-
Since 0.7, and more so since 0.8, a lot of powerplants in DE get classified as CHP (probably to some interaction with the MASTR data). This happens because a lot of large PPs, particularly coal and lignite, have a minor waste heat utilization, which is recorded in MASTR, but which from the POV of pypsa-de does not justify classifying the whole PP as a CHP.
-
Since they are now classified as CHP, the pypsa-de workflow, which takes all German CHPs directly from MASTR and hence drops all German CHPS contained in ppm, INCORRECTLY drops almost all coal and lignite units
-
In ppm 0.8, something strange happend with the aggregation of several blocks, s.t. some capacities and efficiency are incorrectly represented, referring to historical values, e.g. for the Kraftwerk "Neurath"
