For many of the variables, if one zeros out the value of variables on the Metric model, the scenario fails.
Specifically, a user wishes to Zero out categories like Available system capacities (diesel generator) and Grid transformer available system capacities, etc. This is a valid use-case because the user may wish to disregard one of the three technology options for consideration. In this case, he wishes to consider a tradeoff between 'off-grid' and 'mini-grid' systems.

Perhaps we should have a divide by zero check in some of the variable transformations that happen in the Metric Model?
