Description

Disclaimer: The OSM implementation is still a draft PR (#236). This issue will be valid once the PR gets approved, as it represents enhancements for future development.

Description:
This feature focuses on improving support for energy storage technologies within OSM data processing:

  • Adding dedicated support for batteries and other storage technologies in OSM data
  • Improving detection and classification mechanisms for different storage facility types
  • Enhancing the data model to better represent various storage capabilities (capacity, duration, technology type)

With the growing importance of storage in power system modeling, this enhancement will ensure that PPM can effectively incorporate storage facilities from OSM data, providing more comprehensive inputs for energy system models.

Research direction

Start by reviewing draft PR #236, since this issue states that the work depends on its approval. Then inspect the existing OSM data-processing flow and determine how batteries and other storage facilities should be detected and represented. Done means storage technologies, capacities, durations, and types are incorporated into the power-system model inputs.
