Remove `{ll}` wildcard?
Opened this issue · 0 comments
It looks to me like the {ll}
wildcard remains mainly as a historical artefact -- I'm guessing this goes back to "The role of spatial scale in joint optimisations of generation and transmission for European highly renewable scenarios". However, today I don't really see any particular reason why transmission expansion limits should get their own wildcard? To me it would make perfect sense to make this a configuration option instead, and add a flag to the {opt}
/{sector_opts}
wildcards instead.
It's not really consequential, and the main drawback would be a disruptive change for users, having to deal with a new file-name structure.
If it's worth considering breaking backwards-compatibility on the file-name like this, there are some other things to consider:
- #708
- A little bit more radical, but I would love to merge the
{opts}
/{sector_opts}
wildcards, eliminating confusion for new users and making it impossible to falsely put options in both of them. Instead, whether a network is electricity-only or sector-coupled should, in my opinion, be a configuration option.
