-## Develop 2024-03-12
-### Added 
-- In `src/core/absorption_chiller.jl` struct, added field **heating_load_input** to the AbsorptionChiller struct
-- Added new variables **dvHeatToStorage** and **dvHeatFromStorage** which are indexed on `p.heating_loads` and added reconciliation constraints so that **dvProductionToStorage** and **dvDischargeFromStorage** maintain their relationship to state of charge for Hot thermal energy storage.
-- for all heating techs and CHP, added fields **can_serve_space_heating**, **can_serve_dhw**, and **can_serve_process_heat** in core structs and added new results fields **thermal_to_dhw_load_series_mmbtu_per_hour**, **thermal_to_space_heating_load_series_mmbtu_per_hour**, and **thermal_to_process_heat_load_series_mmbtu_per_hour**
-- in `src/core/techs.jl`, added new sets **ghp_techs**, **cooling_techs**, **techs_can_serve_space_heating**, **techs_can_serve_dhw**, and **techs_can_serve_process_heat**
-- in `src/core/reopt_inputs.jl`, added new fields **heating_loads**, **heating_loads_kw**, **heating_loads_served_by_tes**, and **absorption_chillers_using_heating_load** to the REoptInputs and BAUInputs structs. in the math, new set `p.heating_loads` has index q (to represent "qualities" of heat).
-- In `src/core/heating_cooling_loads.jl`, added new struct **ProcessHeatLoad**
-- In `src/core/scenario.jl`, added new field **process_heat_load**
-- In `src/mpc/inputs.jl`, added new field **heating_loads**
-
-### Changed
-- refactored **dvThermalProduction** to be separated in **dvCoolingProduction** and **dvHeatingProduction** with **dvHeatingProduction** now indexed on `p.heating_loads`
-- refactored heating load balance constraints so that a separate flow balance is reconciled for each heating load in `p.heating_loads`
-- renamed **dvThermalProductionYIntercept** to **dvHeatingProductionYIntercept**
-- divided **ThermalStorage** into **HotThermalStorage** and **ColdThermalStorage** as the former now has attributes related to the compatible heat loads as input or output.
-- changed technologies included **dvProductionToWaste** to all heating techs.  NOTE: this variable is forced to zero to allow steam turbine tests to pass, but I believe that waste heat should be allowed for the turbine.  A TODO is in place to review this commit (a406cc5df6e4a27b56c92815c35d04815904e495).
-- changed test values and tolerances for CHP Sizing test.
-
-### Fixed  
-- added a constraint in `src/constraints/steam_turbine_constraints.jl` that allows for heat loads to reconcile when thermal storage is paired with a SteamTurbine. 
-
-## v0.41.0
-### Changed
-- Changed default source for CO2 grid emissions values to NREL's Cambium 2022 Database (by default: CO2e, long-run marginal emissions rates levelized (averaged) over the analysis period, assuming start year 2024). Added new emissions inputs and call to Cambium API in `src/core/electric_utility.jl`. Included option for user to use AVERT data for CO2 using **co2_from_avert** boolean. 
-- Updated `electric_utility` **emissions_region** to **avert_emissions_region** and **distance_to_emissions_region_meters** to **distance_to_avert_emissions_region_meters** in `src/electric_utility.jl` and `results/electric_utility.jl`. 
-- Updated default **emissions_factor_XXX_decrease_fraction** (where XXX is CO2, NOx, SO2, and PM2.5) from 0.01174 to 0.02163 based on Cambium 2022 Mid-Case scenario, LRMER CO2e (Combustion+Precombustion) 2024-2049 projected values. CO2 projected decrease defaults to 0 if Cambium data are used for CO2 (Cambium API call will levelize values).  
-- Updated AVERT emissions data to v4.1, which uses Regional Data Files (RDFs) for year 2022. Data is saved in `data/emissions/AVERT_Data`. For Alaska and Hawaii (regions AKGD, HIMS, HIOA), updated eGRID data to eGRID2021 datafile and adjusted CO2 values to CO2e values to align with default used for Cambium data. 
-- Updated default fuel emissions factors from CO2 to CO2-equivalent (CO2e) values. In `src/core/generator.jl`, updated **emissions_factor_lb_CO2_per_gal** from 22.51 to 22.58. In `src/REopt.jl` updated **emissions_factor_lb_CO2_per_mmbtu** => Dict(
-        "natural_gas"=>116.9 to 117.03,
-        "landfill_bio_gas"=>114,8 to 115.38,
-        "propane"=>138.6 to 139.16,
-        "diesel_oil"=>163.1 to 163.61
-    )
-- Changed calculation of all `annual` emissions results (e.g. **Site.annual_emissions_tonnes_CO2**) to simple annual averages (lifecycle emissions divided by analysis_years). This is because the default climate emissions from Cambium are already levelized over the analysis horizon and therefore "year_one" emissions cannot be easily obtained. 
-- Changed name of exported function **emissions_profiles** to **avert_emissions_profiles**
-
-### Added
-- In `src/REopt.jl` and `src/electric_utility.jl`, added **cambium_emissions_profile** as an export for use via the REopt_API. 
-- In `src/REopt.jl`, added new const **EMISSIONS_DECREASE_DEFAULTS**
-- In `src/results/electric_utility.jl` **cambium_emissions_region**
-- In `test/runtests.jl` and `test/test_with_xpress.jl`, added testset **Cambium Emissions**
-
-### Fixed 
-- Adjust grid emissions profiles for day of week alignment with load_year.
-- In `test_with_xpress.jl`, updated "Emissions and Renewable Energy Percent" expected values to account for load year adjustment. 
-- In `src/core/electric_utility.jl`, error when user-provided emissions series does not match timestep per hour, as is done in other cases of incorrect user-provided data.
-- Avoid adjusting rates twice when time_steps_per_hour > 1
