Description

Generalize efficiency setting for storage models

We currently allow either roundtrip_efficiency or charge_efficiency and discharge_efficiency parameters as inputs to the pyomo storage controller. We should generalize this to allow for the definition of all possible two-out-of-three combinations.

Additionally, we should only allow 2 out of 3 to be defined to prevent the efficiency from being over-constrained.

Research direction

Start by locating the Pyomo storage controller and the existing roundtrip_efficiency, charge_efficiency, and discharge_efficiency parameters. Trace how these inputs are validated and used, then support every valid two-of-three combination while rejecting definitions that over-constrain efficiency; done means the accepted and rejected combinations behave consistently.
