Update part load heat rates: Input format, Documentation, and Legibility #121

Open josiahjohnston opened 5 years ago

josiahjohnston commented 5 years ago

Update documentation of unit commitment fuel use to be more clear and parsimonious, correct errors where implementation drifted away from documentation, and fix broken links.

Implement support for a normalized input file parser for part load heat rates. Keep the old parser with the non-normalized (and probably obsolete) format to continue support for people who have written input files against it. Update implementation of unit commitment fuel use parsers to be incrementally more legible and conforming to python style recommendations.
