MODEL WITH CONFIDENCE
Regional Power Datasets for PLEXOS®
Model with Confidence
Energy Exemplar datasets are pre-configured market models allowing users to run analyses with lower start-up costs and unmatched data accuracy. Run analysis such as:
- Long-term and short-term power price formation
- Transmission congestion
- Fuel consumption and budgeting
- Valuation of new generation projects for both renewable and thermal generators
- Timing of new resource additions and retirement decisions
- Impact of generator and transmission outages, and more
