Helper function to calculate the smooth renewable resource supply available at a particular price point from the relevant smooth renewable resource curve parameters (curve exponent, mid-price, maximum sub-resource). supply = ((p - base.price) ^ curve.exponent) / (mid.price ^ curve.exponent + ((p - base.price) ^ curve.exponent)) * maxSubResource Note that all of these can be vectors The functional form of GCAM's smooth renewable resource curve is documented at: http://jgcri.github.io/gcam-doc/energy.html#renewable-resources
