Hidden Parameters for PLEXOS 6.300
For setup and usage information, please refer to the Hidden Parameters technical reference.
| Class | ParameterName | Type | Default | Validation | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Model | RunMode | Integer | 0 | In (0,1) | Value = 0 ("Normal"), Value = 1 ("Dry"). A dry run skips solving of mathematical programming problems but otherwise performs a complete simulation, allowing the user to check inputs and report selections before performing a normal run. This setting applies to all phases of the simulation. |
| Model | RunMode_PASA | Integer | 0 | In (0,1) | Value = 0 ("Normal"), Value = 1 ("Dry") for the PASA phase only. (See above for more details about the "dry run" mode) |
| Model | RunMode_LTPlan | Integer | 0 | In (0,1) | Value = 0 ("Normal"), Value = 1 ("Dry") for the LT Plan phase only. (See above for more details about the "dry run" mode) |
| Model | RunMode_MTSchedule | Integer | 0 | In (0,1) | Value = 0 ("Normal"), Value = 1 ("Dry") for the MT Schedule phase only. (See above for more details about the "dry run" mode) |
| Model | RunMode_STSchedule | Integer | 0 | In (0,1) | Value = 0 ("Normal"), Value = 1 ("Dry") for the ST Schedule phase only. (See above for more details about the "dry run" mode) |

| LTPlan | AverageSamples | Boolean | false | true/false | Controls averaging of loads when LT Plan Chronology = "Sampled" |
| MTSchedule | UnitCommitmentOptimality | Integer | -1 | In (-1,0,1,2) | Overrides Production Unit Commitment Optimality |
| MTSchedule | AverageSamples | Boolean | false | true/false | Controls averaging of loads when MT Schedule Chronology = "Sampled" |
| MTSchedule | DiscountRate | Double | 0.0 | Discount rate | |
| MTSchedule | DiscountPeriodType | Integer | 3 | In (1,2,3,4,6) | Period type for discount rate (1="Day",2="Week",3="Month",4="Year",6="Hour") |
| MTSchedule | DiscountEndEffectsMethod | Integer | 1 | In (0,1) | Method used to discount the last discount period (0="None",1="Perpetuity") |
| STSchedule | UnitCommitmentOptimality | Integer | -1 | In (-1,0,1,2) | Overrides Production Unit Commitment Optimality |
| STSchedule | BreakStepLinks | Boolean | false | true/false | Allows links such as unit commitment that are passed between ST Schedule steps to be broken, making each step independent. |
| STSchedule | DiscountRate | Double | 0.0 | Discount rate | |
| STSchedule | DiscountPeriodType | Integer | 2 | In (1,2,3,4,6) | Period type for discount rate (1="Day",2="Week",3="Month",4="Year",6="Hour") |
| STSchedule | DiscountEndEffectsMethod | Integer | 1 | In (0,1) | Method used to discount the last discount period (0="None",1="Perpetuity") |
| Production | EmissionsFormulateUpfront | Boolean | false | true/false | When set to true, forces emissions to always be modelled as decision variables in the simulation rather than having their costs pre-computed and passed through to generation costs. |
| Production | FormulateAllGeneratorRamp | Boolean | false | true/false | When set to true, forces generator ramp constraints to be included even if the ramp rate is large enough that it would normally never bind. |
| Production | RunUpDowninLTPlan | Boolean | true | true/false | Flag if run up/down or start/shutdown profile is allowed in LT Plan. |
| Production | RunUpDowninMTSchedule | Boolean | true | true/false | Flag if run up/down or start/shutdown profile is allowed in MT Schedule. |
| Production | RunUpDowninSTSchedule | Boolean | true | true/false | Flag if run up/down or start/shutdown profile is allowed in ST Schedule. |
| Production | SimultaneousPumpGeneration | Integer | 1 | In (0,1,2) | Flag if the pump generator can simultaneously pump and generate in the same period. 0="None" (Never allowed); 1="Single Unit" (Generation/Pump allowed for a single unit); 2=Multi-Unit (Generation/Pump allowed for all units) |
| Stochastic | SampleWeightingMethod | Integer | 0 | Value = 0 ("Uniform"), Value = 1 ("Custom"). Custom uses sample weights defined by the SampleWeight argument. | |
| Stochastic | SampleWeight | Double[] | null | Overrides Global Sample Weight | |
| Stochastic | FutureCostFunction | Boolean | true | true/false | Toggles on/off use of future cost function for case of Storage Decomposition Method = "Water Values" |
| Stochastic | SampleStageCount | Integer | 1 | >=1 | Overrides Global Tree Stage Count |
| Stochastic | StagesPeriodType | Integer | 0 | In (0,1,2,3,4,5,6) | Overrides Global Tree Period Type |
| Stochastic | PositionExpFactor | Double | 1.0 | Between 0.0 And 1.0 | Overrides Global Tree Position Exp Factor |
| Stochastic | LeavesExpFactor | Double | 1.0 | Between 0.0 And 1.0 | Overrides Global Tree Leaves Exp Factor |
| Stochastic | StagesPosition | Integer[] | null | Overrides Global Tree Stages Position | |

| Competition | ApplyStrategicAfterPricingStrategy | Boolean | false | true/false | Controls if Company Strategic constraints are applied before or after Competition Pricing Strategy |
| Diagnostic | StorageDecomposition | Boolean | false | true/false | Writes a CSV file containing the storage decomposition targets and shadow prices passed between simulation phases |
| Diagnostic | NPV | Boolean | false | true/false | Writes a XML diagnostic file containing LT Plan optimal solution costs in terms of their NPV |
