CSP modules need to update to resolve test failing on MacOS

[qualand]

CSP modules use an outdated version of SSC (SAM simulation core) which enables HOPP to "start and stop" the SAM simulation. This functionality is critical to how dispatch optimization interacts with the SAM performance model. Last year, the issue of platform inconsistent SSC results was addressed in the SSC repo. However, HOPP uses an older (stale) version of SSC because of the "start-stop" capability.

To fix this issue the following needs to happen (best case scenario):

• The "start-stop" capability needs to be brought over from SSC daotk branch to the develop branch (https://github.com/mjwagner2/ssc/tree/daotk-develop )
• PySAM needs to be released with the changes enabled
• HOPP concentrating solar power modules need to be updated to interact with PySAM rather than PySSC (this would make them consistent with other technology modules in HOPP)

The quickest way to fix this is not to update the concentrating solar power modules in HOPP to use PySAM which would look like this:

• The "start-stop" capability needs to be brought over from SSC daotk branch to the develop branch (https://github.com/mjwagner2/ssc/tree/daotk-develop )
• Update SSC libraries used by the CSP modules

Both of these solutions will require test values to change because SSC outputs have changed due to model improvements

• Update Tests values based on new version of SSC
