Core Simulation and Optimization Capabilities:

·       Integrated Energy Market Simulation: Plexos is designed to model and co-optimize across multiple energy commodities and systems. This includes:

o   Electric Power Systems: Production costing, unit commitment, economic dispatch, optimal power flow (OPF), security-constrained unit commitment (SCUC), and detailed transmission modeling.

o   Gas Systems: Modeling of gas fields, processing, storage, LNG, pipelines, nodes, and gas demands, integrating with electricity production.

o   Water Systems: Assessing emerging water constraints and their impact on energy systems, crucial for asset development planning and operations.

o   Renewable Energy Integration: Advanced modeling of wind, solar, and other renewables, including forecasting, curtailment analysis, and their impact on market operations.

·       Multi-Horizon Planning: Supports a wide range of planning horizons, from short-term (intra-hourly, hourly) to medium-term (weeks, months) and long-term (years to decades).

o   Long-Term (LT) Plan: For capacity expansion, determining optimal size and timing of new generation and transmission investments.

o   Medium-Term (MT) Schedule: For hydro-thermal coordination, fuel scheduling, and managing longer-term constraints over weeks or months.

o   Short-Term (ST) Schedule: For daily unit commitment, economic dispatch, and market clearing.

·       Stochastic Optimization: Incorporates advanced stochastic optimization techniques to model uncertainty in renewable generation, load, fuel prices, and other market variables, enabling more robust risk assessment and decision-making.

·       Co-optimization: Optimizes multiple objectives and markets simultaneously, such as energy, ancillary services, fuel supply, and emissions.
