CHANGES IN BUILD 20241107:

• Now minimum number of diesel generators in parallel can be 0.
• Total tax for electricity sold now is used to reduce electricity incomes due to selling electricity to the grid (before it was considered to increase incomes). Projects created with previous versions, when opened, will have the sign of this data changed, so that the results are not modified.
• In the report, added percentage of total load energy self-consumed.
• LCOE now has 4 decimal positions.
• Added LCOH and LCOS results in the Excel file of the costs.
• In NPC optimization systems, added calculations of annual savings and IRR of the savings (comparing our system with the system to supply all the load only with AC grid) in the Excel file of the costs.
• In NPV optimization systems, added calculations of IRR in the Excel file of the costs.
• In NPC optimization systems, added the possibility to optimize by maximizing the IRR of the savings (comparing our system with the system to supply all the load only with AC grid).
• Added the possibility of considering the loan in payback calcualtions (before it was not considered).
• Added the possibility of considering the loan in IRR calcualtions (before it was not considered).
• Improved calculation of the pump efficiency (if variable pump efficiency)
• Fixed bug when in particular cases when using variable losses in hydraulic pipelines using Haaland equation for Colebrook approximation.
• Fixed bug when considering minimum time of running the backup generator.
• Fixed bugs in the calculation of payback period in the case of multiperiod.
• Fixed bug when calculating E back-up charge (self-consumed energy) in grid-connected sytems with batteries.
• Fixed minor bugs.
