Holistic Energy Resource Optimization Network (HERON) is a modeling toolset and plugin for RAVEN to accelerate stochastic technoeconomic assessment of the economic viability of various grid-energy system configurations, especially with application to electrical grids and integrated energy systems (IES).
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
HERON should be able to calculate and report back a levelized cost metric for a given cashflow (or perhaps multiple, though seems rare).
Describe the solution you'd like
HERON should be able to communicate with the TEAL NPV_search function. If the target is set to 0, that finds the "multiplier" on the cashflow that makes the NPV sum equal to 0 (i.e., the breakeven price of the resource).

For Change Control Board: Issue Review
This review should occur before any development is performed as a response to this issue.
[ ] 1. Is it tagged with a type: defect or task?
[ ] 2. Is it tagged with a priority: critical, normal or minor?
[ ] 3. If it will impact requirements or requirements tests, is it tagged with requirements?
[ ] 4. If it is a defect, can it cause wrong results for users? If so an email needs to be sent to the users.
[ ] 5. Is a rationale provided? (Such as explaining why the improvement is needed or why current code is wrong.)
For Change Control Board: Issue Closure
This review should occur when the issue is imminently going to be closed.
[x] 1. If the issue is a defect, is the defect fixed?
[x] 2. If the issue is a defect, is the defect tested for in the regression test system? (If not explain why not.)
[x] 3. If the issue can impact users, has an email to the users group been written (the email should specify if the defect impacts stable or master)?
[x] 4. If the issue is a defect, does it impact the latest release branch? If yes, is there any issue tagged with release (create if needed)?
[x] 5. If the issue is being closed without a pull request, has an explanation of why it is being closed been provided?
