New openstudio measure is added and the following error is shown after running the measure

Applying CogenerationMeasure
Result: Fail
Error: Expected argument 1 of type openstudio::model::HVACComponent, but got OpenStudio::Model::GeneratorMicroTurbine #<OpenStudio::Model::Generator...
in SWIG method 'addSupplyBranchForComponent'

Thanks

Somewhere in that measure, there's a request to addSupplyBranchForComponent to a PlantLoop; a method which takes a single argument, an object of type HVACComponent. There are 40-odd OpenStudio components that are derived from the general class HVACComponent (e.g. coils, heat pumps), yet Generators (e.g. GeneratorMicroTurbines) are not one of them.

EDIT: Ah! One can instantiate a GeneratorMicroTurbineHeatRecovery by linking it to a previously generated GeneratorMicroTurbine. This (optional) heat recovery component is a type of HVACComponent. So an excerpt of that measure.rb code should look something like:

turbine = OpenStudio::Model::GeneratorMicroTurbine.new(model)
recovery = OpenStudio::Model::GeneratorMicroTurbineHeatRecovery.new(model, turbine)
loop.addSupplyBranchForComponent(recovery)

... or something along those lines.
