For setup and usage information, please refer to the Hidden Parameters technical reference.

Class Parameter Name Type Default Validation Multi‑band Description
Report CompiledConstraints Boolean false   false Enable a detailed report of compiled constraints. Normally, activity violation properties for a constraint are only reported for user defined constraints.
Report Locale String null   false Global Culture format
Model EncryptData Boolean false   false Setting to enable data obfuscation (encryption). This will convert all object names into an encrypted form, using a random seed (i.e. cannot be decrypted). This is useful for securing sensitive information. All references to these objects are also updated in the csv data file themselves.

Model IncludeInputData Boolean false   false If the input dataset should be included in the solution file, which is used with the CIM exporter functionality.
Model IncludeMaintenanceInReliabilityIndices Boolean true   false Include the distributed maintenance in reliability indices calculation. Discrete maintenance is always included.

Model SuppressRescalingSpecificInputs Boolean true   false False or 0 - Do not suppress rescaling the sampled data of which the input values are within the range of [0,1]. This does not apply to properties with percentage unit (%), such as Rating Factor, Max Capacity Factor and etc., thus percentage inputs will not be rescaled. True or 1 - Do suppress rescaling the sampled data of which the input values are within the range of [0,1]. 2 - Do not suppress rescaling the sampled data of which the input values are within the range of [0,1] or properties with percentage unit (%).

This parameter will not override parameters SuppressRescalingSampledData or SuppressRescalingSpecificInputs.
Model UseDatafileObjectLookup String() null   false Used to define variable's which will have their name mapped to objects names for data file values look up. If a variable is defined to use DatafileObjectLookup, then in the data file reading process, PLEXOS will find the objects' name instead of variable's name (the objects tagged to current variable), when reading object names from columns. Users can use one such variable for multiple objects instead of creating one variable for each object. Note, maximum only one such variable can be set per object.
Model UseQuadraticRescaleProfile Boolean true   false Option to use Quadratic growth method in rescaling the sampled data if the fitting using Linear method is not ideal, setting to false will revert to the original Linear method.

Model PowerstationAggregationAuto_Diagnostic Boolean false   false

Flag if an automatic power station/battery station aggregation diagnostic should be written.

This diagnostic provides a summary of automatic station aggregation. For power stations, it summarises the generator memberships detected and displays their grouping into power stations. For battery stations, the battery memberships detected are summarised and their grouping into stations is displayed.

Production EnforceLinearUpDownConstraints Boolean false   false This indicates whether min up time, min down time, max up time, and max down time are honored when running with linear commitment. In that case, the max up time and min down time constraints work together such that the total generation in any given period of length equal to the sum of the max up time and min down time is less than or equal to the max up time multiplied by the max capacity. Because integers are not being used, limits governing the operation of facilities for consecutive hours cannot be fully enforced.
Production FreezeTolerance Double -1.0   false

Some Algorithms such as Uniform Pricing require the freezing of generator/battery production levels, line flows and other decisions at optimal values from prior solves. This is the tolerance that will apply to that freezing process such that any new optimal values will be at most this value away from a prior optimal value. If unsupplied, the Performance Feasibility Tolerance is used (default 1e-6).

Non price setting algorithms use a separate tolerance value for freezing. It can also be specified as a hidden parameter (NonPriceSettingTolerance). It defaults to zero.

Production HeadEffectsOptimalityRollingWindow Integer -1   false Size of the window over which to roll integer-fixing algorithm for head effects.
Production LinearMinStableCommitmentCorrection Boolean false   false Setting to true when modelling Linear Relaxation Unit Commitment will cause unit commitment binaries to be ceiled in the output if Production/Generation exceeds Min Operating Level/Min Stable Level. This can increase the consistency of solutions yielded between solves.
Production NonPriceSettingTolerance Double 0   false

Freezing refers to the fixing of some decision variables (i.e. generator production levels) about their optimal values from prior solves. Tolerance bounds the distance from any new optimal values within a solve from its optimal value found from the a preceding solve.

This is the freezing tolerance used for Non Price Setting algorithm (i.e. the Pricing solve). The default value (0) fixes decision variables exactly to their values from a preceding solve.

Other algorithms which freeze decisions utilize a separate freeze tolerance. This is also a hidden parameter (see FreezeTolerance).

If UF(i) is usage factor for band i and H(i) is heat point for band i, NodeHeatPoint is HDD or temperature falling in band n, then Gas Demand is computed using incremental value of heat points for each band as follows: Cumulative Demand = UF(1)*H(1) + UF(2)*(H(2)-H(1)) +..+ UF(n)* (NodeHeatPoint-H(n-1))
Production UseGasNodeDeliveredPriceAsFuelShadowPrice Boolean true   false Controls the [Fuel Price] calculation for a Generator connected to a Gas Node. If true, Generator [Fuel Price] comes from Gas Node [Delivered Price]. If false, it comes from the Gas Node [Price].
