Add largest district heating systems subnodes to the network.
469+
Add the largest district heating systems as subnodes to the network based on
470+
their heat demand. For each subnode, create individual district heating components
471+
from the corresponding mother node template, including heat sources, storage options,
472+
and heat pumps. Adjust loads of original mother nodes to maintain the overall
473+
energy balance.

They are initialized with:
471476
- the total annual heat demand taken from the mother node, that is assigned to urban central heat and low-temperature heat for industry,
472477
- the heat demand profiles taken from the mother node,
473478
- the district heating investment options (stores, storage units, links, generators) from the mother node,
474479
The district heating loads in the mother nodes are reduced accordingly.
