From day ahead clearing prices to long term price forecasts, PLEXOS® rigorous fundamental market framework offers unparalleled options for price forecasting. Starting from cost-based short term marginal costs to competitive bidding based on game theory or LRMC recovery.
Capacity expansion planning
Optimal generation and transmission expansion planning over any timeframe. PLEXOS® capacity module expansion has been built into the comprehensive production model, allowing users to control the desired level of accuracy of their production cost model without the need to create complex external integration loops between decoupled modules.
Generation and transmission asset valuation
The extensive range of detailed operational characteristics allows PLEXOS® to provide the most accurate asset performance valuations in any market situation.
Market analysis and design
Examine the effect of the range of proposed market developments and regulations on generation mix, inter-regional flows, prices and profits.
Transmission analysis
PLEXOS® is used extensively by Transmission System Operators (TSOs) to examine and optimise transmission operation and congestion costs.
Portfolio optimisation
The powerful optimisation engines underlying PLEXOS® allows users to ensure they achieve the most of their generation assets, contractual terms and limited resources in an uncertain world.
Stochastic optimisation
This ensures decisions are robust to the uncertainty in future inputs including fuel prices, load growth, renewable uptake and generation. Integrated stochastic optimisation of building decisions, hydrology operating policies, transmission expansion and unit commitment.
