Storage periodic boundaries for level #313

Closed PaulTalbot-INL closed 1 year ago

Pull Request Description

What issue does this change request address?

Closes #87.

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

By default (opt-out available), requires that a storage's final level in an evaluation window be equal to the initial level. While this removes a degree of freedom from optimal dispatch, it also removes the possibility of "free energy" or "free sink" because of boundary condition assumptions.
