Describe the workflow you want to enable
Currently, within the plant.csv data for a grid, we have heat-rate-curve coefficients, fuel prices, and cost curve coefficients, but only the cost curve coefficients are used. The origin of the existing cost curve coefficients is a bit murky, especially compared to the heat rate curve values that are being estimate from real EPA data during HIFLD grid-building. I wish instead of using the cost-curve-coefficients, we instead generated them on the fly during Scenario preparation by multiplying fuel prices against heat rate curves, and optionally explicitly adding non-fuel cost curve coefficients. This could also enable:
During Scenario creation, the user can define a new fuel price assumption for some or all generators of a certain type.
For CEM Scenarios, we have different fuel prices for different years that modify the cost curves for running generators in those years.
Describe your proposed implementation, if applicable
Basic:
When instantiating a Grid object from CSVs, information from gencost.csv is ignored and the information is gathered instead from plant.csv.
Bonus:
The ChangeTable would get a new function to modify the fuel price assumption for some or all generators of a certain type.
TransformGrid interprets the new change table keys and generates new gencost values.
