Description

Feature Request

When the sector coupling was first being developed, the reeds_state classifier in buses didn't exist, so there is code to fill this in under the STATE and STATE_NAME (particularly in the natural gas network). This should be removed, and everything should be built off the state classifications brought in from the electrical network.

Suggested Solution

Contributor guide

Research direction
Locate the code in the natural gas network module that manually assigns STATE and STATE NAME to buses, then remove it and ensure the reeds state identifier from electrical buses is used instead. Trace how reeds state flows from electrical to gas network.
