[TASK] Levelized Cost as an Economic Metric #300

Closed GabrielSoto-INL closed 1 year ago

GabrielSoto-INL commented 1 year ago

Issue Description

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).

Describe alternatives you've considered
