I have reworked the proposal https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/electricity to include the separation of the source tag and a further example including battery storage.

To avoid confusion, I have decided to keep the secondary namespace in the source tags even though they are somewhat redundant. Although in the case of the Shoals Laboratory, something like grid:input would make sense as well since the grid is well-defined!

Are there any further comments or undiscussed problems?

Regards

Lukas

    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.

That's a good topic
However be careful to not extend the proposal too much. Classification of batteries would deserve a dedicated document and vote.

    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.

Great

    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 such a situation occurs, you'll have to tag both grid and generator with two separate tags.

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

I'll take time to do so shortly

All the best

François
