Unlimited flexibility

Model Your Way

Configure PLEXOS with a limitless collection of scenarios, customized constraints, conditional variables, physical elements, simulation horizons, durations of simulation period, phases in the integration and model resolution.

This data-driven flexibility creates a dynamic solving engine: it adapts to your data producing the right balance of detail and performance while giving you ultimate scalability and ultra-fine control.

PLEXOS is also completely transparent. If you want to see how the solution delivered the results, all equations, objective functions and constraints are open for you to review.

  • Run real-world studies for greater accuracy
  • Analyze hundreds of scenarios for richer insights
  • Co-optimize electricity, water and gas systems
  • Simulate competitive behaviors
  • Calibrate your simulations to maximize accuracy versus speed
  • Demonstrate auditable results
  • Complete control of constraints in your modeling runs

A Uniquely Unified Approach to Energy

Discover Hidden Value with Co-optimized Energy Market Simulation

While other simulation software only models energy markets separately, PLEXOS allows you to understand the market variations across the entire energy landscape: Power, Gas, Water, Hydrogen, Carbon, and Data.  Every commodity, covered.

Perform long- term planning, Projected Assessment of System Adequacy (PASA), medium-term and short- term scheduling, with each phase automatically connected to the others.

  • Create one source of truth for the entire organization
  • Maximize your profitability across multiple commodities
  • Reduce your IT costs and timelines
  • Make decisions based on real-world scenarios
  • Streamline your input/output processes and reduce errors
  • Work more efficiently across teams by eliminating iterative planning

Power

Represent every generating unit and transmission line in a given market and schedules the assets to meet system load at least cost.

Gas

Configure the complete electric topology, zonal or nodal, as well as the complete gas topology from the wellhead to the city gate

Water

Assess the emerging water constraints with energy retirements for asset development planning and operations.

Hydrogen

Model your hydrogen assets from generation, storage, transportation, and fuel blending to optimize your entire energy portfolio.
