However, a link per node can be used (activated in `Config `_ file) to represent energy transferred between distribution and transmission levels. So basically, only the total capacity from the transmission grid down to the low-voltage level is optimized. The Cost of this link between transmission level and distribution level can be adjusted from zero to any number in Config file `options `_ , and is currently assumed to be 500 eur/kW. +Contrary to the transmission grid, the grid topology at the distribution level (at and below 110 kV) is not included due to the very high computational burden. However, a link per node can be used (if activated in the `Config `_ file) to represent energy transferred between distribution and transmission levels at every node. In essence, the total energy capacity connecting the transmission grid and the low-voltage level is optimized. The cost assumptions for this link can be adjusted in Config file `options `_ , and is currently assumed to be 500 eur/kW. -Rooftop PV, heat pumps, resistive heater, home batteries and chargers for passenger cars are connected to low-voltage level. All the remaining generation and storage technologies are connected to the transmission grid. In practice this means that the distribution grid capacity is only extended if it is necessary to balance the mismatch between local generation and demand. +Rooftop PV, heat pumps, resistive heater, home batteries chargers for passenger EVs, as well as individual heating technologies (heat pumps and resistive heaters) are connected to low-voltage level.
