Walkthrough

A new electricity demand sink component with fixed relative profile is introduced to a complex example, tied to the electricity demand and integrated into the flow system and build sequence.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Electricity demand sink addition examples/02_Complex/complex_example.py	Introduces electricity_load component linked to Strom bus with fixed relative profile; component added to flow system and included in public flow build sequence.

Estimated code review effort

🎯 1 (Trivial) | ⏱️ ~5 minutes

• Straightforward component addition to an example file with consistent construction pattern (similar to existing Waermelast component)
• Single file modified with no logic complexity or structural reorganization

Poem

🐰 A spark dances upon the Strom,
Electricity_load finds its home,
In flow and profile, steady and bright,
The system glows with added delight! ⚡

159-170: Electricity load sink is consistent with existing demand modeling

Using electricity_load as an fx.Sink on bus 'Strom' with fixed_relative_profile=electricity_demand mirrors the Waermelast pattern, and the profile length matches timesteps, so this integrates cleanly into the example.

---

197-200: Inclusion of electricity_load in flow_system.add_elements looks correct

Adding electricity_load alongside Waermelast and the other components ensures the new sink is part of the optimization model; the ordering is consistent with the surrounding example structure.

Thanks @Malte96 for your contribution.
We reworked the examples to be notebooks and therefore this PR will be closed unfortunately.
