Alexander Zolan contributed to the NREL/REopt.jl and REopt_API repositories by developing and refining features that enhance energy modeling accuracy and reporting. Over five months, he implemented new parameters for forced dispatch of ASHPs, improved electrical load calculations, and integrated advanced technologies like CST and HighTempThermalStorage. His work involved code refactoring, changelog management, and rigorous documentation updates using Julia, Markdown, and TOML. By addressing tariff calculation bugs and expanding test coverage, Alexander improved model reliability and release readiness. His technical approach emphasized maintainability and clarity, supporting more transparent site-level load reporting and streamlined onboarding for future development and users.

For 2025-10, key features, fixes, and test coverage improvements were delivered across REopt.jl and REopt_API, enhancing modeling capabilities, documentation quality, and release reliability. The work focused on expanding GHP simulations, strengthening input/test coverage for new technologies, and aligning release notes with user needs to support faster onboarding and clearer business value.

February 2025: Completed the Electrical Load Calculation Improvements and Reporting feature in NREL/REopt.jl, introducing a new annual electric load result with thermal conversions and clarifications for electrified vs non-electrified thermal loads. Documentation and comments were updated to improve clarity on load aggregation and renewable energy definitions, and the CHANGELOG was reconciled to reflect the total site load. This work enhances the reliability of site-level load reporting and supports electrification planning.
