Runs completed using cases_small.csv were designed to result in model runs that were below the limit of 5,000 rows and columns for a trial GAMS license. Changes to the model over the past year have made runs using cases_small much larger, exceeding the 5,000 limit. This pull request utilizes the capability to aggregate regions to turn cases_small into a single-region representation of ERCOT, allowing model size to remain below the 5,000 limit. Running the model using other cases files should not be impacted.
