The method determines the variable names used by the input dataframe.
It looks for the following labels:
power_var <- iacp; if not, sets to idcp
time_var <- tmst; if not ,sets to tutc
irrad_var <- poay; if not, sets to ghir
temp_var <- temp; if not, sets to modt
wind_var <- wspa; if applicable, else NULL
This function assumes data is in a standard HBase format. If you are using other data
(as you most likely are) you should use the companion function, plr_build_var_list.
