Check methodologies/outputs related to combined cycle plants #57

Open grgmiller opened 2 years ago

For some combined cycle plants, it is possible that fuel input or net generation data is allocated to one portion of a combined cycle but not another, meaning that unit or generator-level statistics might appear to be outliers. Most of these issues should be addressed by aggregating the data at the subplant level (which should aggregate all parts of a combined cycle plant together), but this is something that we should look into.
