Allow SteamTurbine to produce waste heat

zolanaj opened this issue · comments

In the disaggregation of heating loads, dvProductionToWaste was expanded to include all heating techs. This variable is forced to zero to allow steam turbine tests to pass, but waste heat should be allowed for the turbine to allow it to be used for electricity in periods of high demand while diverting extra heat to waste if storage isn't available (or if its use isn't economical). Otherwise the turbine may be undersized.
