Heating price output as default value instead of input value
Closed this issue · 5 comments
Per @malcolm-dsider
I did a temporary fix on my local code for this that works.
I simply removed the convenience function when accessing the "value" member of the object, so I went from:
o(econ.CoolingPrice).value[ii]
to
econ.CoolingPrice.value[ii]
and it works correctly.
Another bug related to this - if I use o(econ.CoolingPrice).CurrentUnits.value to print the current units, I get the wrong value - it reports "cents/kWh". if I use econ.CoolingPrice.CurrentUnits.value to get the units, it reports "USD/kWh," which is correct.
So, can we remove the use of the convenience function?
@malcolm-dsider do you have an input file that exhibits this issue?
