We are excited to announce another release of Southern Lights; v.1.3.0. This update brings both new features and key fixes to enhance your experience and improve the efficiency of your green hydrogen projects.

New Features at a glance:

• File Import Enhancements: We've supercharged the file import functionality with support for various time steps and unit conversions, making it seamless for you to integrate diverse data sets into your project simulations. We now also support CSV files in addition to Excel-files (.xlsx). This means you can now directly import CSV files from online tools like renewables.ninja without touching the files. This flexibility ensures that you can test power source inputs with ease, enhancing your project planning.

Fixes:

• Optimization Inputs Accuracy: Fixed an issue with the scaling of inputs for electrolyzer size optimization, improving the precision of simulation outputs.
• Result Label Units: Corrected unit labels in result displays, providing clearer and more accurate information.
• Sales Results Visibility: Addressed the missing average and sum views for Revenue, Net Revenue, and Quantity Shortage in sales results, offering a comprehensive understanding of financial outcomes.
• Axis Scaling on Graphs: Improved axis scaling on frequency histogram graphs, enhancing the clarity and readability of data visualizations.
• Graphs in Optimization: Resolved scaling issues in optimization graphs, ensuring that data is correctly represented and interpreted.
• Financing Page Validation: Fixed a validation error that allowed debt financing values above 100%.
• Graph Hovering Functionality: Updated graph hovering features to show the sum of stacked bar charts.
• Simulation Reliability: Fixed a bug preventing users from running simulations after an error, improving the platform's reliability and user experience.
