Hidden Parameters for PLEXOS 6.302
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) |

| 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 | 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) |
| Production | OffersIncludeEmissions | Boolean | true | true/false | Flag if Generator [Offer Price] is assumed to include the shadow price of emissions |
| Production | Tiebreaking | Boolean | true | true/false | Flag if tied Generator offers should be resolved. |
