- Around line 203-206: Add a targeted throughput test case near the existing
assertions in the storage test that uses a 0.25 limit with both draw and
discharge positive (0.20 and 0.08), so it fails under the new throughput formula
but passes under the old efficiency-adjusted formula. Keep the existing
single-flow assertions intact.

Test the throughput change independently.
The asserted limit does not distinguish the two throughput formulas when a slice only charges or only discharges. In d1, the separate charge-rate limit already caps the asserted 0.25 draw. Reverting only the throughput charge term to efficiency-adjusted flow could leave this scenario green. Add a targeted case with both flows positive. For a 0.25 limit, a 0.20 draw and 0.08 discharge would violate the new throughput limit but satisfy the old one.

What changes
storage_charge_rate_constraintandstorage_throughput_constraintnow count charging as theenergy drawn from the input commodity, Σ FIS, instead of the energy that enters storage after the
efficiency, Σ FIS·EFF:
storage_charge_rate_constraintstorage_throughput_constraint"Available output" is
get_available_output(CAP·C2A·CF·SEG, or the unit-commitment version),unchanged. The energy balance is unchanged:
storage_energy_constraintandseasonal_storage_energy_constraintstill take the whole loss on charging (Σ FIS·EFF entersstorage). The two docstrings, which
mathematical_formulation.rstrenders throughautofunction, now show the new formulas and say which side of the losses the limit applies to.Where
efficiency_variableis set, the time-varying efficiency no longer enters these two limitseither; it still applies in the energy balance.
Why
As discussed in #376: discharge was limited at the output, but charging was limited after the
losses, so a storage process with capacity 1 and efficiency 0.8 could draw 1.25 per unit of rated
limit in a time slice. Each unit of storage capacity bought 1/EFF units of charging. The comments
on the issue agreed on option 2, limiting what is drawn, and leaving the energy balance alone.

Changed expected values
All three are Utopia runs. Utopia's storage process
E51has efficiency 0.72, and its charginglimit binds: before the change it could draw up to 1/0.72 = 1.39 times its rated limit in a slice;
now it draws at most the limit.
test_against_legacy_outputs[utopia], objective (legacy_test_values.py)test_myopic_utopia, sum ofd_investtest_stochastic_utopia, expected objectiveIn the perfect-foresight Utopia run,
E51's drawn energy falls by 19 to 25% by period(1990: 0.8235 to 0.6527; 2010: 1.2353 to 0.9265), and its new capacity in 2010 falls from
0.122 to 0.0184. Constraint and variable counts are unchanged.
Unchanged:
test_system(its battery, efficiency 0.85, is not built),storageville(efficiency 0.75; the battery's draw is at most a third of its limit, and the objective is
identical to six decimals), and
mediumville,seasonal_storageandmaterials(storageefficiency 1).
Compatibility
No schema or input change. Results change for any database with a storage process whose
efficiency is below 1 and whose charging or throughput limit binds. Following the discussion in
#376 there is no option to restore the old behaviour; a release note may be useful.
Not in this pull request
The docstring formulas for the charge-rate, discharge-rate and throughput constraints show
CAP·C2A·SEG on the right-hand side, while the code uses
get_available_output, which alsomultiplies by the capacity factor. That predates this change and is left as is.
