[Testing] Benchmark test needed for multiple input flows of a sink
As oemof documentation denies that multiple input flows of a sink are possible, but I have actually used those in another project, we need to develop a benchmark test to check if muliple input flows are working.
Seems like oemof's sinks and sources can only have one input / output flow (see docstring). In MVS we allow multiple flows. For sources @smartie2076 you already commented that we shouldn't allow multiple flows. I would say the same for sinks - do you agree?
I agree for sources, but in case of sinks it still can make sense, eg. if a demand can be covered both by a local pv plant, which is off-grid, or the grid. Sure, we could also connect them through inverters, but I did not experience an issue with multiple flows to an output which is not capacity optimized at least.
Your example makes sense! So, lets keep multiple flows. I wonder why in the docstring in oemof it is clearly written -one flow- .. but if it has worked out for you once it should still work. We'll see :)
This calls for a benchmark test!

@Bachibouzouk I assigned this issue to you as you are implementing benchmark tests. But I can support you in this - give me a note!
