Description
Change all electricity flows in the model to be per-timestep
Currently in H2I, all electricity flows are listed as e.g. kW when they are in reality kW/hr.
This is due to the hardcoded assumption the timestep is per-hour.
Proposed solution
To begin to tackle #204, we need to first change all electricity flows to be on a per-timestep basis.
In this moment, that is as simple as changing the units for all electricity-related inputs and outputs from kW to kW/hr.
There may be complications for different technologies or tests due to compatibility changes, hence why this is its own issue separate from others.

Research direction
Start by searching the repository for electricity-related inputs and outputs currently labeled kW, then inspect the affected tests for hourly assumptions. The work is done when the relevant flows use per-timestep units consistently and the impacted tests pass without compatibility regressions.
