Here the GenX publication. Page 31 last & page 32 first paragraph talks about energy storage play a role for reserves (incl hydro etc).

Our current PyPSA-Eur implementation does not consider energy storage
pypsa-eur/scripts/solve_network.py
Lines 733 to 790 in 3fba8da
Energy storage should be considered. However, because not all markets might consider storage as a reserve contributor, it should be implemented as an option.
Implementation idea:
- Avoid introducing if conditions
- Write in config a boolean (True/False aka. 1/0) for storage addition in the reserve constraint
- Add terms to the
lhs
andrhs
for the constraint (see here).rhs= old terms + new term * boolean
- One challenge will be to properly understand what term to add on the lhs and rhs side... Good documentation for the new term will be essential

Now, someone just needs to work on adding a good PR to address this.
