Description

Overhauled the molten salt linear fresnel model. Now uses the same CSP controller and solver as the power tower and parabolic trough models. Added mslf IPH model. Removed old molten salt linear fresnel model.

This looks good. A couple of comments:

  • Should we use "Industrial Process Heat" instead of "Heat" in the configuration chooser? "Heat" is a little ambiguous.
  • I get a callback error when I try to open a file with a default MSLF / Single Owner case created by SAM 2022.11.21 r3. This may be something we could resolve after merging into Develop.

Use configopt() approach from Hybrids branch to create `tree_parent` in startup.lk.

Rename "Heat" category to "Industrial Process Heat".
