PLEXOS Certification Training for Beginners
Introducing the Fundamental Training Program
- Hands on practice building a small power network
- How to add external data to PLEXOS and run the model using scenarios
- Exercises that enhance the model using Markets and Custom Constraints
- Exploring some bulk work practices and explaining how to add detail to a system description
- How outages are used to determine system adequacy
- Demonstrating the importance of the MT Schedule
- Understanding how data is handled and evaluated to generate a long-term plan

Introducing the Advanced Training Program
- Diving deeper into alternative PLEXOS use cases
- Explore batteries vs hydrogen storage vs pump storage vs EVs
- Compare performance vs precision and analyse LT-ST convergence
- Investigate modelling losses and congestion & contingency analysis
- Examine more deeply cloud automation/CLI, stochastics and dashboard building
- Dive into water values, stochastic dual dynamic programming and rolling horizons
- Learn more about performance vs precision, plus unexpected behaviours in ST
- Universal PLEXOS will highlight workflows around combinatorial optimisation and an activity called 'Choose Your Team'

Cloud
By working through an automation example using PLEXOS cloud, we aim to demonstrate how participants might go about implementing automatization processes in their own workflow.

LT Model Calibration
In this session we examine the trade-off between performance and precision when modelling the Long Term. In addition to this, we look at how to think about LT-ST convergence.

System Adequacy
Systems are prone to breakdowns and require maintenance. We explore system maintenance and random outages and how they affect the reliability of our system.

Opportunity Costs
To model hydro accurately it is important to consider the opportunity cost of water. During this session we explain how water values, Stochastic Dual Dynamic Programming and rolling horizons work in PLEXOS.

Medium Term Modelling - Intro to LT Plan
It is impossible to consider every aspect of a system of any meaningful size over the medium term when operating in real-time. The MT Schedule solves this problem by optimizing medium term objectives and passing them to the ST Schedule.

All Things Data
Come and learn more about our data offerings. We will be digging into the process, offerings and calibration. We will also be exploring data sources, benchmarking and the release notes process. This will be given by our data specialist.
