Description

Describe the feature you'd like to see

Currently load shedding* is represented as load generator with Load carrier:

https://github.com/pypsa-meets-earth/pypsa-earth/blob/5da36819ba1873ebbf3d1f40558137fafd2b24ed/scripts/solve_network.py#L106-L108

That leads to some confusion when analysing modeling outputs. It might be worth to revise a bit naming conventions.

*a trick needed to ensure model feasibility (@davide-f thanks a lot for very helpful and clear explanations on that!)

Contributor guide

Research direction
Search the codebase for all occurrences related to load shedding as a generator, identify the relevant lines in solve network.py and other files, and rename them to a more intuitive convention like 'load shedding'.
