Cambium update to 2022#1365
Conversation
* Update URL in webapis.conf. * On UI form, read UUID from URL in webapis.conf instead of hard coding it. Future updates should only require updating the URL in webapis.conf. * Revise tooltip descriptions to be Cambium version agnositc. * Fix UI group box sizes so Merchant Plant Revenue page are all same size.
* Update sample script to Cambium 2020. * Update sample script to work for all PPA models, including Host Developer.
* Create macro based on sample script and add button to Revenue or Time of Delivery input page for all PPA models.
* Add optional escalation rate input and update defaults * Support non-monotonic available years from Cambium (Cambium 2020 years were even years, Cambium 2022 varies) * Update Help * Update UI descriptions and tooltips

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Added SAM-private pull request 87 to go along with this pull request to update webapis.conf in SAM-private to prevent a hard crash.
Results with escalation seem a little weird in year 22 of the attached file with spreadsheet with corrected timestamps.... Maybe Cambium data has some weird values in 2045?

@sjanzou Thanks -- I fixed a mistake in applying the escalation rate to years copied from previous available cambium years. Here is a detailed Excel spreadsheet that replicates copying previous years and escalation calculations. |
|
Unfortunately, even after Steve's fix, PVWatts-Merchant Plant still crashes for me when I click on the "revenue" tab (I have cambium-update-to-2022 checked out on SAM and sam-private). The debugger has an opaque compliant about a read access violation and an lk:error_t. |

@brtietz SAM-private worked for me. I reran cmake and did a clean build to make sure all of the files were copied over from SAM. |
Ah, thanks. Doing a clean build fixed the crash. I'll do a deeper review tomorrow. |

Thanks, this is some great functionality! My one comment is it's not clear to me why the escalation rate would only be available for multi-year downloads for the merchant plant. Since single year data repeats for the lifetime, I would (and I imagine other users would as well) really like to be able to escalate single year data at the same rate as inflation. This would also more closely match the capabilities of the PPA models. Was there a reason that feature was disabled by default? |

@brtietz Oh, right! I guess I got caught up in the excitement of the multi-year implementation. Escalation is enabled for both single-year and multi-year downloads and Help revised accordingly as of my last commits. |

Description
Fixes #1104 and #1098
Updates Cambium downloads to Cambium 2022 and makes it easier to update in the future.
Add escalation rate for multiple year option, and support Cambium years in any interval (Cambium 2020 was even years, Cambium 2022 is even years 2024-2030 and then every five years 2030-2050).
Adds macro and button for PPA models to download cambium pricing data: See Revenue page for Single Owner model and Time of Delivery page for others.
Updates sample script for Cambium downloads.
Fixes Merchant plant layout for Mac and Linux.
Includes Help revisions.
