Rework LV grid dimensioning and reinforcement
@birgits, @AnyaHe and I identified some issues that need to be changed in the dimensioning and reinforcement of LV grids:
- [ ] Use the same cable for entire LV grid
- Currently, branches are reinforced individually.
- According to DSO information and the Kerber grids, all cables in a LV grid are of the same type. So for the initial dimensioning (prior to power flow) and reinforcement (after pf) all cable assets should be the smallest possible.
- [ ] Introduce a safety factor (in the cfg) and use for the step above
- [ ] Use same transformer types in one station during reinforcement
- Currently parallel trafos of different nom. power are used
- Change:
extend_substation()andextend_substation_voltage()
- [ ] Allow for parallel cables in LV reinforcement
- Currently only the existing branch is replaced or retained if no appropriate cable is available.
- Change:
reinforce_lv_branches_overloading()andreinforce_branches_voltage()
Note: Current reinforcement strategy for LV by @IsGut here: https://github.com/openego/ding0/blob/origin/feature%2Fsynthetic_lv_grids/ding0/grid/lv_grid/build_grid_on_osm_ways.py

Update: currently simple method by using number of loads for LV cable dimensioning
