Hi,

I was actually thinking of the type of battery, i.e. flywheel, LiOn, etc. Although it would probably also be interesting to figure out a tagging scheme to classify batteries by type, capacity etc. for the future. And it's true that :grid, :generator, and :battery as second namespaces are redundant if the source keys can be restricted to only being usable if the corresponding infrastructure key is used.

The only issue I see with separating the tagging like this if the general source of electricity is advertised (e.g. 'renewable' in a supermarket and you can't determine if that's because they're connected to the grid or they have a small wind turbine out back..rather unlikely but still). I think that it's likely easy to tell or would also be advertised if they had a local generator. Or perhaps would then have to be left untagged.

If you'd like to add such a table to the wiki, feel free! :)

Best regards,

Lukas

    Hi François,

    I do actually like the word input for generator and have been
    thinking that 'battery:origin' makes no sense either to specify
    the type of origin. Keys such as 'electricity:grid:origin=*',
    'electricity:generator:input=*', and 'electricity:battery:type=*'
    would be more distinct and would separate them. My only problem
    with that is that the wikipage would probably need a flowchart to
    explain the tagging :/ What do you think?

That's an interesting point.
Do you mean electricity:battery:type should refer to the source of electricity that feeds the battery? Let's keep in mind that batteries are probably charged with the same electricity used in place. It won't change anything regarding origin or local supply source quality (electricity won't become greener).

I think electricity:origin is enough, no need to add :grid inside but only restrict its usage with electricity:grid=yes, for sake of simplicity.

With a simpler origin definition, a table would be enough.
A table similar to Infrastructure table could be completed to give the applicable tagging suitable for each Infrastructure situation

Let me know how do you feel and I could try to propose something for this table

All the best

François
