DOD Documentation for StorageInput is not clear

Open t-ober opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

"Maximum permissible depth of discharge. 80 % dod is equivalent to a state of charge of 20 %."

We use this value differently in SIMONA :

private val minEnergy = eStorage * dod.toEach

We should either adapt the documentation or change the SIMONA implementation.

From what I've read now, the defintion in PSDM seems correct and the implemetation in SIMONA incorrect. (Besides the point, maybe we should rename the parameter to dodMax, because that seems to be more descriptive. dod on its own is just the counterpart to soc).

I also checked the defintion and agree to @sebastian-peter. Thinking about this I come to the conclusion, that in my opinion we don't need the dod at all if we agree to see the eStorage as the storage usable capacity. For all application cases we have so far we don't deep-discharge the battery and if one would do so this only makes sense if there are implications on the battery life time modeled which isn't so far. So I would opt to change this issue into one removing dod from documentation and code.

Thinking about it more, I tend to agree with @danielfeismann. dod is not a parameter that we're (currently) interested in. Same goes for lifeTime and lifeCycle, which we do not consider for any other asset as well. If we'd come to the conclusion in the future that we'll need this again, we could just add it back in.

So if no-one disagrees, I'd go ahead and give green light for removing said parameters above from code and documentation.
