Simulating Energy Markets

Production cost models require a lot of data, inputs, and assumptions to run them and produce meaningful results.

Data Inputs

Grid Infrastructure

Generator Data

Load Data

Uncertainty

Weather

Weather drives a lot of the data inputs when running scenario analysis. Weather is used as an input into load and renewable generation.
