Full load hour inputs biomass plants with CCS incorrectly affect number of units #3368

Bug Description

The inputs for full load hours of the biomass power plant and CHPs (in the Costs & efficiencies section in the front-end) affect the number of units and therefore total output capacity, while electricity production remains constant. Whereas the flh input should affect electricity production, while number of units and total output capacity remain constant.

Steps to Reproduce

I tested locally for and set demand in the start year for testing.

  1. Open node energy_chp_local_ht_wood_pellets_ccs_must_run and set ~ demand = 100.0
  2. Set flh_of_energy_chp_local_ht_wood_pellets_ccs_must_run to 4000
  3. Query full_load_hours, number_of_units, output_of_electricity, etc. to see the results

Proposed solutions

The setup of flh_of_energy_chp_local_ht_wood_pellets_ccs_must_run for example currently looks like this:

- query = UPDATE(V(energy_chp_local_ht_wood_pellets_ccs_must_run), full_load_hours, USER_INPUT())

Whereas I think we should use the same setup as for example flh_of_households_solar_pv_solar_radiation:

original_nou_households_solar_pv = V(households_solar_pv_solar_radiation, number_of_units);

        EACH(
          UPDATE(V(households_solar_pv_solar_radiation), full_load_hours, USER_INPUT()),
          UPDATE(V(households_solar_pv_solar_radiation), number_of_units, original_nou_households_solar_pv),
          UPDATE(V(households_solar_pv_solar_radiation), preset_demand_by_electricity_production, V(households_solar_pv_solar_radiation, production_based_on_number_of_units)),
        )

where the number of units is actively kept fixed.

The flh inputs of the biomass power plant and CHPs with CCS should thus be updated to ensure that number of units is kept fixed and electricity production is affected. It concerns the following inputs:

  • flh_of_energy_power_wood_pellets_ccs_must_run
  • flh_of_energy_chp_local_ht_wood_pellets_ccs_must_run
  • flh_of_energy_chp_local_mt_wood_pellets_ccs_must_run
