From CHANGELOG.md:

v2.9.0

Minor Updates

Added

• Energy Resilience and Performance Tool:
  • Uses functionality added to the REopt Julia package in v0.27.0 to calculate outage survival reliability metrics for a DER scenario, which can be based on the results of a REopt optimization
  • Django models ERPMeta, ERPGeneratorInputs, ERPPrimeGeneratorInputs, ERPElectricStorageInputs, ERPPVInputs, ERPOutageInputs, ERPOutputs
  • /erp endpoint to which users POST ERP inputs (calls ERPJob())
  • /erp/<run_uuid>/results endpoint that GETs the results of an ERP job (calls erp_results())
  • /erp/help endpoint that GETs the ERP input field info (calls erp_help())
  • /erp/chp_defaults endpoint that GETs ERP CHP/prime generator input defaults based on parameters prime_mover, is_chp, and size_kw (calls erp_chp_prime_gen_defaults())
  • Tests in resilience+stats/tests/test_erp.py
• In job/ app (v3), added Financial year_one_om_costs_before_tax_bau, lifecycle_om_costs_after_tax_bau
• Added field production_factor_series to Django models WindOutputs and PVOutputs
• In REoptjlMessageOutputs added a has_stacktrace field to denote if response has a stacktrace error or not. Default is False.
• Added access to the multiple outage stochastic/robust modeling capabilities in REopt.jl. Not all inputs and outputs are exposed, but the following are:
  • SiteInputs: min_resil_time_steps
  • ElectricUtilityInputs: outage_start_time_steps, outage_durations, outage_probabilities
  • OutageOutputs: expected_outage_cost, max_outage_cost_per_outage_duration, unserved_load_series, unserved_load_per_outage, microgrid_upgrade_capital_cost, generator_fuel_used_per_outage
• Added test using multiple outage modeling
• Add /dev/schedule_stats endpoint

Changed

• Update REopt.jl to v0.28.0 for job app (/dev -> v3)
• /job/chp_defaults endpoint updated to take optional electric load metrics for non-heating CHP (Prime Generator in UI)
  • Changed /chp_defaults input of existing_boiler_production_type to hot_water_or_steam
  • CHP.size_class starting at 0 for average of other size_classes
  • CHP.max_size calculated based on heating load or electric load
• In job/ app (v3), changed Financial breakeven_cost_of_emissions_reduction_per_tonnes_CO2 to breakeven_cost_of_emissions_reduction_per_tonne_CO2
• In job/ app (v3), changed default ElectricLoad year to 2022 if user provides load data and 2017 if using CRBD
• Changed scalar_to_vector helper function to scalar_or_monthly_to_8760
• Changed GeneratorInputs fields fuel_slope_gal_per_kwh and fuel_intercept_gal_per_hr to electric_efficiency_full_load and electric_efficiency_half_load to represent the same fuel burn curve in a different way consistent with CHPInputs
• Updated the following default values to job/ app (v3):
  • federal_itc_fraction to 0.3 (30%) in models PVInputs, WindInputs, and CHPInputs
  • total_itc_fraction to 0.3 (30%) in models HotWaterStorageInputs, ColdWaterStorageInputs, and ElectricStorageInputs
  • *macrs_bonus_fraction to 0.8 (80%) in models PVInputs, WindInputs, CHPInputs, PV, HotWaterStorageInputs, ColdWaterStorageInputs, and ElectricStorageInputs
  • macrs_option_years to 7 years in models HotWaterStorageInputs and ColdWaterStorageInputs
• In reo/nested_inputs.py v2 inputs (defaults_dict[2]), updated the following default values in models ColdThermalStorageInputs, HotThermalStorageInputs
  • macrs_option_years to 7 (years)
  • macrs_bonus_pct to 0.8 (80%)
• In reo/nested_inputs.py v2 inputs (defaults_dict[2]), updated the following default values:
  • ColdTES, HotTES: macrs_option_years to 7 (years)
  • ColdTES, HotTES: *macrs_bonus_pct to 0.8 (80%)
• Updated the following default values to job/ app (v3):
  • PV, Wind, Storage, CHP, Hot Water Storage, Cold Water Storage, Electric Storage: federal_itc_fraction(PV,Wind,CHP) and total_itc_fraction(Hot Water Storage, Cold Water Storage, Electric Storage) to 0.3 (30%)
  • PV, Wind, Storage, CHP, Hot Water Storage, Cold Water Storage, Electric Storage: *macrs_bonus_fraction to 0.8 (80%)
  • Hot Water Storage and Cold Water Storage: macrs_option_years to 7 years
    Use TransactionTestCase instead of TestCase (this avoids whole test being wrapped in a transaction which leads to a TransactionManagementError when doing a database query in the middle)
• Updated ubuntu-18.04 to ubuntu-latest in GitHub push/pull tests because 18.04 was deprecated in GitHub Actions

Fixed

• In reo (v2), calculation of net_capital_costs_plus_om was previously missing addition sign for fuel charges. Corrected this equation.
