Pull Request Description

What issue does this change request address?

287

What are the significant changes in functionality due to this change request?

This adds a new dispatcher to HERON that operates parallel to the existing Pyomo methods. This methods uses a ported version of the Chickadee algorithm now using cyipopt rather than pyoptsparse as an interface to IPOPT.

This dispatcher supports arbitrary transfer functions for HERON components expressed as Python functions in an associated Python script. This allows implementing transfer functions as external simulations, look-up tables, non-linear python methods or a wide variety of other possible cases.
