Description

This is a long-term generation and transmission planning and operations model. The underlying model is based on linear programming. The model is technology-rich, and the underlying database covers costs and technical attributes of thermal and renewable generating units. It can analyze and report results for up to 30 years.

Applications

To asses energy and GHG emissions implications of electric power sector operations under future economic and policy scenarios.
