Zero storage scenario

[BenWinchester]

Describe the bug

Some energy systems have no storage. Currently, CLOVER supports this, but it does not support it through disabling in the scenario file, despite the file format suggesting that this is possible. Rather, it supports it through setting the size of the storage system to zero.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Set battery: false in your scenario file,
2. Run a simulation,
3. See error

Expected behaviour

CLOVER should run the same process as for battery: true with --storage-size 0 as it does for battery: false.

Additional context

This was originally posted in the CLOVER Q&A ( #66 ) discussion thread:

While running a scenario on-grid where battery is battery: false # "true" or "false", running clover gives me the following error.
The problem is with the false in battery like when we ran previously diesel mode: disabled and it used to give me the same error.
How can I arrange it please?
