Description

Built-in utility functions for cost indices

Build in functions to adjust system or sub-system costs based on CEPCI or CPI.

Previously accomplished with hard-coded adjustments in Green Steel based on the cost year, but need a more robust way to do this going forward.

Was there in H2I for some of the technologies, but based on inflation.

h2integrate -> tools -> inflation there are spreadsheets for this, but would be more robust to use a package instead of hard-coded tools, and those spreadsheets don't have a source for CEPCI numbers.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing h2integrate → tools → inflation spreadsheets and the hard-coded cost adjustments previously used in Green Steel. Determine the intended CEPCI and CPI data sources and package interface. Done means reusable functions adjust system or subsystem costs by cost year without relying on undocumented hard-coded values.
