From e8dc46661b9f7e3f9f5537051fd00faa09474736 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Qian Zhang Date: Sun, 28 Dec 2025 16:28:26 -0500 Subject: [PATCH 01/14] add Secant-based methods for ELCC and EFC calculations Introduces Secant-based root-finding as an alternative to the default bisection method for calculating Effective Load Carrying Capability (ELCC) and Equivalent Firm Capacity (EFC). This update also includes a significant refactor of shared system modification logic to improve long-term maintainability. --- PRASCapacityCredits.jl/src/EFC.jl | 79 ----------- PRASCapacityCredits.jl/src/EFC_Secant.jl | 123 ++++++++++++++++++ PRASCapacityCredits.jl/src/ELCC.jl | 29 ----- PRASCapacityCredits.jl/src/ELCC_Secant.jl | 122 +++++++++++++++++ .../src/PRASCapacityCredits.jl | 4 +- PRASCapacityCredits.jl/src/utils.jl | 112 ++++++++++++++++ docs/src/quickstart.md | 10 ++ 7 files changed, 370 insertions(+), 109 deletions(-) create mode 100644 PRASCapacityCredits.jl/src/EFC_Secant.jl create mode 100644 PRASCapacityCredits.jl/src/ELCC_Secant.jl diff --git a/PRASCapacityCredits.jl/src/EFC.jl b/PRASCapacityCredits.jl/src/EFC.jl index f445e4cd..a6862a49 100644 --- a/PRASCapacityCredits.jl/src/EFC.jl +++ b/PRASCapacityCredits.jl/src/EFC.jl @@ -107,83 +107,4 @@ function assess(sys_baseline::S, sys_augmented::S, end -function add_firmcapacity( -
