Allows users to model "off-grid" systems as a year-long outage:

  • add flag to "turn on" off-grid modeling Settings.off_grid_flag
  • when off_grid_flag is "true", adjust default values in core/ electric_storage, electric_load, financial, generator, pv
  • add operating reserve requirement inputs, outputs, and constraints based on load and PV generation
  • add minimum load met percent input and constraint
  • add generator replacement year and cost (for off-grid and on-grid)
  • add off-grid additional annual costs (tax deductible) and upfront capital costs (depreciable via straight line depreciation)

Name changes:

  • consistently append _before_tax and _after_tax to results names
  • change all instances of timestep to time_step and timesteps to time_steps

Other changes:

  • report previously missing lcc breakdown components, all reported in results/financial.jl
  • change variable types from Float to Real to allow users to enter Ints (where applicable)
  • year_one_coincident_peak_cost_after_tax is now correctly multiplied by (1 - p.s.financial.offtaker_tax_pct)
