Hidden Parameters for PLEXOS 6.400 / 7.100
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_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) |
