Name

Description

\(\rho ^\text{energy}_\text{heat}\), \(\rho ^\text{energy}_\text{gas}\), \(\rho ^\text{cp}_\text{chp}\), \(\rho ^\text{cp}_\text{p2h}\), \(\rho ^\text{cp}_\text{p2g}\)

sparse

The most sparse variant using a minimal amount of gas- and heat nodes and coupling points of all types

0.5, 0.4, 0.6, 0.3, 0.5

cp-dense

Characterized by a high density of coupling points, but the general node density is equal to the sparse variant

0.5, 0.4, 1.0, 0.6, 1.0

net-dense

Low density of coupling points, but high density of active nodes in all energy carrier networks

1.0, 0.8, 0.6, 0.3, 0.5

full-dense

High coupling point density and high general active node density in all energy carrier networks

1.0, 0.8, 1.0, 0.6, 1.0
