Changes in build 20240526:

• Added the possibility to import a file with the hourly values of the whole year for the grid power limit.
• Added another optimization option: minimization of payback period.
• The user can choose to calculate simple payback period or discounted payback period.
• In NPC minimization projects, the payback period is calculated comparing our system with to the only AC grid system, taking into account the difference in investment costs and the savings.
• In NPV minimization projects, the payback period is calculated considering the initial investment of the system and the net incomes.
• In the report and in the cash flow Excel file, the payback period is shown.
• In the report, added levelized cost of storage (LCOS) of the batteries.
• Added the possibility to generate or import PV maintenance shutdown and wind turbines maintenance shutdown hourly files.
• Added the option not update or not the component when we click in the components’ table, if there is a component with the same name in the database (before it was done always, now it is an option in Project->Options, not done by default).
• Improved speed when opening a project.
• Fixed bug when using option of electrolyzer at full load.
• Fixed minor bugs.
