Why this feature is necessary:
reV-Offshore calculates spatially-dependent loss values and then applies them to GCF values in the generation files. If you had to rerun reV-offshore you would doubly apply the loss factors. This could artificially reduce CF values and go unnoticed. This behavior does not cause an error.
A possible solution is:
Either:
Save raw cf_mean and cf_profile data to gcf_mean and gcf_profile datasets then have offshore look for these as default inputs.
Cache raw generation outputs in a sub dir similar to collection (less effective)
I have considered the following alternatives:
Just be careful
Charge code
Maybe current wave charge code: WAPP 10343 16.01.05
