Running reV plant builder for known set of resources but different SAM configs and weather years?

[llavin13]

I have some output timeseries by weather year from someone else's run of, I believe, the reV plant builder (example for 2013 EST is attached).

I'd like to be able to make two types of changes to handle some things that evolve/change on our side.

1. run new weather years (e.g., 2021, not just 2007-2013)
2. Switch out configs to e.g. incorporate new assumptions about icing, wind turbine technology

It will always be for the same UPV and LBW resources we are assuming are in our baseline systems. Basically curious if there's an easy programmatic way to iterate these. Our other alternative is to just try to fully integrate wtih R2X and pass new profiles to existing UPV/LBW when the ReEDS-built resources get their profiles... if that's better, lmk!

It sounds like maybe one of the reVX plant builder CLI's was run on some reV data? Likely one of these scripts (with _cli suffix): https://github.com/NREL/reVX/tree/main/reVX/plexos

Do you have any idea which one? It might be easier to narrow down if we know what command was run.
If not, we can try to match the command by what the output looks like, but I'll wait to do that until I hear back.

Once we figure out which command was run, i think it should be pretty straightforward to switch out the weather year and the cf file. The latter would bring over all of the updated assumptions like wind technology and icing losses

For sure! Originally run by @scdhulipala and we'll try to provide the original!
