Spot check looked good for the stuff I worked on...
I merged the latest develop branch updates and the latest default configuration results to get the GitHub Actions passing.
Thanks for the detailed help - as always!

As usual, the Help system is amazing and so helpful!!! Spot checked a bunch of places and things I worked on- Found two small updates on the Introduction-> performance models page: Another place that may need an update (and, possibly needs addition of what standalone battery does for peak shaving?) Lastly the Degradation page still mentions Generic and Generic Battery. |
Revise "receiver startup delay time" and "receiver startup delay energy fraction" descriptions for trough and Fresnel models. Fix remaining references to "generic system" model.

Thank you for all your help with the CSP/IPH documentation. All of the links are working for me, and I made a few comments on the IPH MSLF page.

- Power block should heat sink here
- There are two header pipe roughness definitions, I think we can delete the second one
- These labels are bolded or the font is larger than the other labels
- Rather than auxiliary fossil backup heat, I think we want to say 'Auxiliary electric backup heat' because we no longer consider it fossil backup.
- 'prevent water from freezing' -> 'prevent field HTF from freezing'
- 'actual freezing point of water' -> actual freezing point of the field HTF
- This section is also in the system design help page, do we want to include it here too?

@taylorbrown75 Thanks -- I'll incorporate your comments either in the final pre-release build, or in Patch 1.
To review, spot check functionality (input page matched to correct Help topic, broken links, etc.), and review content for any topics you have interest in or made a change that required a Help revision.
Let me know of any comments so I can make changes in the source database (which is not on GitHub). Please do not directly edit Help HTML files directly -- any changes will be overwritten the next time I generate Help from the source database.
