Dear all,
by now I have quite a complex electric network and it works very well.
Now I want to do the next step and couple the sectors. I added another set of buses with the carrier heat and added a load. Now I wanna connect my generators to those buses. I always intented to add a heat source, which is why when I implemented my generators I already seperated them into CHP and non-CHP. Now, I see that in the example, the CHP is implemented as a link. Can I also use my CHP plants, which are implemented as generators? Or is any sectorcoupling done with a Link?
Also: In the example, the CHP is connected to a gas-storage. Is that necessary? Or can I leave the gas supply out of the equation for now?
Best wishes,
Elias

Hi Elias,
as soon as you want to represent a technology that has multiple inputs
or outputs, you'll need to use a link; in case of CHP
gas (input) --> heat (output)
--> electricity (output)
Then you have 3 buses involved: gas, heat, electricity.
The gas node then needs energy provision in form of a gas "generator"
that feeds gas into the system.
We usually model CHPs as backpressure plants with fixed ratio
heat/electricity (that's how most would behave).
