The outflow of the storage (FOUT) can be restricted to be in each timeslice at most the storage level (ACT) at the beginning of that time slice, multiplied by any user-specified constant (CONST).
So: VAR_FOUT(r,v,t,p,c,s) ≤ CONST(r,v,p) × VAR_ACT(r,v,t,p,s)
The TIMES parameter FLO_SHAR can be used for specifying that constant CONST. In my example, the constant was specified to have the value 1, and the interpolation option for it was 3. If you are not familiar with the TIMES interpolation options (specified with year=0), please consult the documentation.
That example would ensure that there is storage activity and capacity for HYGNSTG_new, whenever there is an outflow. As I understood, that was what you wanted?
However, I note that you already have the existing storage capacity for HYGN in the model: HYGNSTG, until 2040. So, it is not obvious to me why you think that this capacity is not sufficient for hydrogen refuelling, but you expect also that new storage capacity would have to be built, although the hydrogen delivery logistics seem to be able to match the demand without the need for additional storage capacity.
