The following cerf input variables should be renamed:

current variable name new variable name
capacity_factor capacity_factor_fraction
carbon_capture_rate carbon_capture_rate_fraction
fuel_co2_content fuel_co2_content_tons_per_btu
fuel_price fuel_price_usd_per_mmbtu
fuel_esc_rate fuel_price_esc_rate_fraction
heat_rate heat_rate_btu_per_kWh
lifetime lifetime_yrs
unit_size unit_size_mw
variable_om variable_om_usd_per_mwh
variable_cost_esc_rate variable_om_esc_rate_fraction
carbon_tax carbon_tax_usd_per_ton
carbon_esc_rate carbon_tax_esc_rate_fraction

Note that the units follow what cerf uses in its equations after all conversions (whether internal or external) occur. If the internal conversions are removed from the model, these names should still be consistent with what cerf expects.
